Question asked on Jun 30, 2014

Every time I click Open on the Windows Live Essentials Installer executable it fails to execute, and the folder I had it in instantly disappears. I tried a number of folders, and I've tried Run, and the same thing always happens. The file is big, 214 MB, but I think I've successfully run installation files bigger than that.

Should I try to install it in Safe Mode? I don't even know if that's possible.
