Windows Mail offline installer?

[Xander]

I've got a call booked in a few days with a customer who just got herself a new laptop with Win7. She just wants me to migrate all her stuff; no big deal.
Thinking ahead, I know she's on OE and dial-up. I've found things go smoothest if you set up a mail client on Win7 while the data is being copied off the old machine. That way, when you import it goes right where it needs to.

SO... I'm trying to find an offline installer for Windows Live Mail. I'm sure I had one a couple of years ago but can't find it now, nor can I find one online (from a trustworthy source). Not worried about it being -the- most recent version but close enough would be fine.

Anyone? Bueller?

If you visit the official download site and hit 'download' and then click 'try again' on the right it will download a stand alone installer which I believe is an off-line installation package.

"If your installation doesn’t start right away, check the system requirements, or click Try again.

Trying again downloads a standalone installer to your computer. This takes a little while, but may work better, depending on your connection settings."​

Sorry I can't post a URL my post count is not yet high enough.

Thanks, dbdawn. Knew it was out there.

I'd tried the latter method before without success. Been running it here a few times and all Cancel/Try Again does is resume the installation attempt.
