    Windows Live Mail won't install


    I get a Windows Live mail failed to install code 08007643. It says some other program is keeping it from installing, but it doesn't tell me which one. I have turned off antivirus and firewall. I have also "Run as administrator" and logged in as administrator and same thing. Any help will be appreciated.

    :)

    Windows live mail 2011 wont open and I allowed remote access by LogMeIn Rescue

    The installation program won't open or Windows Live Mail won't open?

    If Windows Essentials 2012 is installed, it will show in Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features as:

    Windows Essentials 2012

    Windows Live Mail will not show as an installed program in your programs.

    Is Windows Essentials 2012 shown as an installed program?

    Is there an associated error message with whatever doesn't open?

    WLM comes as part of a package in Windows Essentials.
    If it is your first time trying to install Windows Essentials, you will be asked to install a Netframework 3.5 first.
    If you decline to do that, you won't get to install Windows Essentials.

    Were you using this link to install Windows Essentials ?

    I know it comes as a package. I have installed it before many times. I did download it from the link you posted. I have Netframework ver,s 1,1.1,2,3,3.5 and 4. I downloaded Ver.3.5 again just to see if that made a difference.

    Clint,
    just installed WLM on the latest preview - without issue..

    so is would have to be another program preventing the installation...

    Which one, would be a guess, as I have not seen any prior report..

    You need to have WINDOWS firewall turned on in order to install Windows Essentials.

    I have turned Windows Firewall and Defender back on. It still won't install. After trying everything else that I can think of, I did a repair install of Win 10. Still won't go.

    You are not out of disk space, are you ?

    I have 176 GB free of 250 GB SSD. That should be enough.

    This happened to me last week when I was helping out with a Windows Live Mail problem.
    I tried to install the WLM 2012 from my old download. It failed with the same error 08007643.
    The message indicated another problem was preventing me to install WLM. So I shutdown and downloaded from the current Windows Essential web page:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/essentials
    It installed fine!
    Afterward I discovered that it was documented in:
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/974061

    I never gave any thought about this until this post!

    I gave Clint the most current download link.

    Clint has other bug(s) preventing him from installing WLM.

    Finally got WLM installed. After uninstalling Windows Essentials, there was still a lot of references to Windows Live. I went in the registry and deleted all references to Windows Live. Also all the folders that had Windows Live. After a reboot, it installed fine. Now I have no more bug(s).
    Thanks to all that replied.
