TL;DR; Details an issue with downloading Windows Live Writer Beta 3, support response, and provides updated links for the correct installer and troubleshooting steps.
I submitted a trouble ticket about my previous post on http://support.live.com and got a prompt reply from Microsoft support giving me some directions for cleaning up beta bits of my system, and a URL for a direct download:
Windows Live Writer 2008: http://g.msn.com/4SAWLWENUS/WriterMSI
Now, this looks good. But when you try to download it you get the “WLMail.exe” install… Dough!
Guess someone along the line messed up ;)
When I get the correct link I will post it…
UPDATE:
Windows Live Writer 2008 Direct Download: http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/e/c/1ecbf3be-298b-467c-84d8-6f86f01478d7/en-us/Install_WLWriter.exe
UPDATE:
But not Beta 3: dough!
