This turned out to be because a required service (Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistant) couldn’t be started up during the installation. The first problem I hit was that the install would simply fail while the App-V Sequencer was running even though it installed fine on the same machine without the sequencer running: With the previous version, I used App-V to virtualise the applications I wanted, but I had no such luck this time. GPO Software Deployment is therefore a total pain in the backside. Some of them also need calling with custom arguments. msu installers, with a strict set of dependencies. exe install package are literally dozens of individual. This is a technical article which is light on judgemental ranting, so try to keep up. Secondly, it’s not the easiest bundle of application to deploy over the network. There are a couple of gotcha’s: first, only Vista and Windows 7 are supported in the latest version, and a lot of schools are either too scared or too poor to upgrade from XP. Though primarily aimed at home users, there are a couple of applications that are great for schools, particularly Windows Live Movie Maker.
On Thursday, Microsoft release ‘Wave 4’ of Windows Live Essentials, otherwise known as the 2011 version.
