Installing Windows Live Writer on Windows server 2003

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

As I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 for most of my coding and I wanted it to look nice when I copy it to my blog, I decided to use WLW(Windows live writer).

BUT as I am using Windows server 2003, it was not possible. ow no.

Don’t fret ! here comes Google for the rescue. after searching very little a found very nice post about how to overcome this.

If you just want to download - WLW-Beta 3 (look at the bottom of the page).

This should work for most if not all people, myself? I couldn’t get anything running but the Beta, hope you get it to work for you, if not might want to try what worked for me.

Tell me what worked for you in the comments !

Hope this helps you like it helped me ! =]

Update:
after installing the Beta I tried again and was able to install the 2008 version. Hooray !
(I just used the installer and when it finished[with no mention I will add] it was installed.)

Update 2:
Windows update managed to upgrade the software just fine !
