So my Dad has got Windows Live Mail and I thought I'd bag the same, then I can help him.

I go to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/essentials-other#essentials=overviewother and click on download.

Then after clicking on the set up file, bugger all. The program just sits there with its progress bar going up and down. Any ideas or will it get ignored like all the other support options...

Running Windows 8.1 and 64bit.

Not a good start really.
