    Windows Essentials 2012 offline installer download link is here (in the last post):

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/livemail-wlinstall/windows-essentials-2012-microsoft-offline/0dbbd92a-991c-48d7-8157-26decd351da8

    At the bottom of the thread in the very last post(¡Firedog) are two links.

    These two links are active links for Windows Essentials 2012 offline installer.

    Please read to the bottom of the thread.

    OK an Update with Joy.

    I went to the above Post

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/livemail-wlinstall/windows-essentials-2012-microsoft-offline/0dbbd92a-991c-48d7-8157-26decd351da8

    At the bottom there are x2 Downloads for the offline installer.

    Universal English

    British English

    I downloaded the Universal English - Got the same error that I got when I was Installing from my Pen Drive.

    Then I Downloaded the British English Installer - Walla - Installed WindowsLIveMail without a Problem.

    Crikey am I glad however I do not understand - So a heads up for others - Try the British English link.

     I have saved this in multiple locations & on my Pen Drive as it is very valuable & usefull.

    If anyone can understand I would be interested in knowing .

    Cheers ALL

    Im having the same problem. I have been using the same offline installer for WE 2012 for years. In the last week or so it doesnt work on either Windows 7 or 10.

    I did have success once by doing a fresh install of 7, installing .Net Framework 4 then Live Mail 2012 before doing anything else.

    Im thinking there may have been an update to the .Net Framework that has broken the compatibility.

    I will try that British English version now.

    Update - worked on one computer (10). But not the other (7)

    I also over the past weekish have not been able to install windows essentials 2012 (WindowsLiveMail) on windows 10 PC's.

    I am a PC Tech for over 10 Years, I had a new PC Build last week that had the same error when trying to Install.

    I have the offline Installer on a Pen Drive that I have been using up until last week, then today I have another New PC I Have built & Same error when Installing.

    Unknown error 0x800c0006

    I used the same Offline Installer today on another PC I had to Replace the HDD in & It was running Windows 7 - No Problem Installing.

    Any Ideas anyone ? ?
