A great tool, but hard to install. On my Server 2008, I just downloaded the full Live intaller, then used the compatibility tab to say "lie and run as though it was XP" and all was well. Still can't get Steve Dunn's code formatter to work, but oh well. I had problems too with LW. A great tool, but hard to install.

With a bit of searching, you can find that the name of the installer is: Install_{1F973A7F-3FE4-4D11-A9A2-E869C2899A7D}.msi And with a bit more searching, you'll see that you can download it from the skydrive of a Windows Live team member here: http://cid-fabdddc5cad93494.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/Install%7C_%7B1F973A7F-3FE4-4D11-A9A2-E869C2899A7D%7D.msi I've been running Live Writer on 64-bit Server 2008 for a year+ now, and it works like a champ. It's just the wrapper/installer for all Live tools that does the version check, not the individual packages. I completely agree with the frustration.
