Windows Live Installer

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

I have recently been noticing that whenever I try to install something from the Windows Live suite of software, I almost always end up spending more time with the installer than I should be. Let me explain…

Almost always, I get the following message when installing any Windows Live software- "Sorry, this is taking a little longer than expected. Please bear with us just a few more minutes."

Slow

The above message doesn’t sound bad but in a lot of cases it is a precursor to the following message- "To try to fix the problem, click ‘Try again later’ and we’ll add the installer to your desktop so you can easily restart it later."

Failed

Once you click "Try again later", the installer exits and I end up ‘trying again later’. Is it just me or has anybody else had a similar experience with installing windows live services?
