Client Software Update (0.9.3424.14)
Now that we are out of our holiday blackout period for releases, we’re happy to announce that the next Live Mesh for Windows client update will (at long last!) be available later today is now available. Thank you for your patience, and please see below for the details. By default your Live Mesh software will automatically update itself within 24 hours of the new build being posted, but you can always right-click the Notifier icon in the system tray and choose to force an immediate update.
Update: Doh! We are embarrassed to say that the new version is going to be delayed just a little bit longer. For your safety and enjoyment, the Live Mesh client verifies the SSL certificate of the update server before downloading new code. It turns out that one of the other things we didn't get to do during the holiday blackout was update our SSL cert, which expired at end of 2008. As soon as we can get the new valid cert up there, the update will be available.
Update 2: For those of you who have recently received the error below while trying to update or install Live Mesh, the issue has now been resolved. Please try upgrading or installing Live Mesh again. If you continue to encounter problems, please visit our forums and let us know.
"Live Mesh Service is unavailable. Please retry your installation later. [80072F78] The server returned an invalid or unrecognized response."
Fixes
- Conflict-handling improved for duplicate files and folders
- Live Mesh no longer disables Aero in Windows 7
- Continued improvements to P2P synchronization
- Minor usability improvements
This update will bring your Windows Live Mesh client up to version 0.9.3424.14
Windows Vista User Account Control (UAC) reminder
While we no longer require that UAC be turned on when running Live Mesh on Vista SP1, if you initially installed Live Mesh with UAC turned on, and then turned it off, you might have some issues upgrading. Please see “NOTICE: Updating Live Mesh and User Account Control (UAC)” in the Known Issues sticky on the Live Mesh forums for further information.
Thank you for helping us test Live Mesh!

Aero in Windows 7 still not working for me. It went off, came back, then went off again, and reenabling it under Personalize doesn't do anything. I'll try a restart, although this still needs ironing out. Also, is it possible to sync multiple folders to a single folder in Mesh? Since I'm dual booting, as are many people, drive letter names are different in the two operating systems. Does Live Mesh recognize them as two separate folders or a single common folder?Anonymous

@ Sam, We haven't released the update quite yet: it's coming later today (and we'll update this blog post once the new version has been deployed).Anonymous

why wasn't live mesh featured at CES? combined with onenote, it's a powerful tool for real-time note-taking and sharing for students and people in the 'real world' taking notes at meetings, presentations, etc. it definitely has killer app potential; you guys just need to market it right.Anonymous

Any update on availability? Its already 7pm in Redmond...Anonymous
January 13, 2009
likely a stupid question....but where do I find the update?Anonymous
January 13, 2009
Right click the system tray icon and select "Check for Updates". Otherwise it will update automatically. You can also click the (?) icon and choose "Version" to see if you are running the latest version.Anonymous
January 13, 2009
The update is released after the ssl problem is solved. After release: RMB on your live mesh icon and choose update.Anonymous

@fsx: Right click on the mesh icon "check for updates", but otherwise you'll be alerted automatically when it's pushed down. @meshteam : Can't believe you havent sorted out the SSL! LOL! I have to say after all this waiting, it's a huge clang - and, if i'm as frank as can be, it doesnt say much for the testing process if it's only uncovered now! Oh well - thankfully Mesh is so awesome i'll forgive you all!Anonymous
January 13, 2009
@fxs When available you should right click on Livemesh icon and select update option. However the update was not released on 13th. I wish we receive it by 14th.Anonymous
January 13, 2009
If we download the bits directly off the website, will we get the latest/greatest client.. ? I can understand the updater wouldn't work without SSL cert being renewed, but what about direct download.. ?Anonymous

Is the new version live yet? I've downloaded what appears to be the new client but it won't install. Keeps coming up with an error about service being unavailable.Anonymous
January 14, 2009
I am particularly disappointed that this new update doesn't fix the problem I have with live mesh which makes it unsuable. Ever since it went from a tech preview to beta I get get the message 'Could not sign into live Mesh. Please try later. Request to MOE timed-out'. How much later is latter? Reported but problem still remains. Please let this be fixed in the next update.Anonymous

So the SSL certificate expired... that should explain why people can't complete a fresh install. Thanks for keeping us informed, and thanks for such a brilliant product! (My computer seems so incomplete without Live Mesh.)Anonymous

It seems to be working. They downgraded the install to .5 and allowed for an update to .14Anonymous

I got the updates on all my machines and Aero is back on Windows 7, but it still kicks back to basic on the host machine when I connect to one of the other machines. Definitely not as big of deal as it being gone the whole time. ;) JKAnonymous
January 14, 2009
Hooray! Update is kicking in! I believe it is normal behavior for Remote Desktop to switch back to Aero Basic.Anonymous

Will this also work for the Live Framework CTP Mesh Client?Anonymous

Given that you can no longer "right-click" on the Mesh client in Windows 7, how do you force it to check for updates? IanAnonymous
January 14, 2009
@Ian: You can acomplish that by click on "Show hidden icons", then "Customize..." and in the "Notification Area Icons" dialog selecting the "Show Icon and notifications" for Live Mesh Monitor.Anonymous
January 14, 2009
@Ian and @Antonio Or, you can just show the extra icons and drag the Mesh icon to the tray with the rest of them. Telling Mesh to update isn't finding anything for me right now. Are there still issues?Anonymous

Why does my phone, which is running the Live Mesh client and is online, not show up as online from the taskbar icon on my laptop? And why, when I connect to a folder from the phone, does the Live Mesh client have to open a browser window and then ask me to sign in, when I am already signed in to the Live Mesh client? Shouldn't the client have a built in file browser or at least better integration with the browser? This is very much a work in progress.Anonymous
January 14, 2009
Wonderful! Just congratulating you on the good work. It may be vain, but I'm most glad about having control over Aero colors again. :)Anonymous
January 14, 2009
That's got to be a bug then. You can right click the other items in the "show hidden icons" section. SimonAnonymous

Can we now put the Windows Live Mail Storage Folder into Mesh? I have read, that that caused an endless sync loop.Anonymous

I really wish Live Mesh would work with custom themes under windows xp. I know they are not "microsoft signed" and all that, but I do think many people change their skin to get something else than teletubbies-like skins. Live mesh really breaks the explorer with custom themes. Apart from that it works ok. Not that great on conflicts (versus SVN) and sometime it takes a while before my changed file goes to the other computers (foldershare updated files instantly).Anonymous

Live Mesh Version 0.9 (0.9.3712.831) is unusable on Macintosh OS X 10.5.6 - broken. BEFORE the update 1/14/2009 everything worked and worked well. Now all is broken.Anonymous

@jz - installed working now, I guess the SSL issue was the problem.Anonymous

@Brian Just remove your Mac from the Mesh in the Live Desktop, delete the folders "Live ID" and "Live Mesh" under ~/Library/Application Support and it should run fine on 10.5.6. @Live Mesh team Just wanted to thank you guys... absolutely amazing piece of tech and now even my netbook running 7 is part of the Mesh. However, I would suggest automatically expanding the ring in the Live Desktop as with 8 devices, things start getting a bit messy.Anonymous
January 15, 2009
Live Mesh is definitely now having problems on OS X 10.5.6. Resetting the client worked for about a day and then it broke again. Having to reset the client daily is not cool.Anonymous

Hi, will you fix problems with proxy servers ? We have a proxy configuration url (proxy.pac) with proxy authentication, live mesh doesn't recognize these settings properly, and live mesh can't do proxy authentication (that's the bigger problem). TIA and regards, RalfAnonymous

I have a mesh on 2 devices(workstations) one with 3 monitors at 1600x1200 and the other with 1 monitor at 1920x1200. In the original mesh release, I was able to RDP (assuming its RDP) into the 3 monitor machine with the 1 monitor machine and it would do screen scaling of the 3 to 1. Though difficult to read, it was good for general overall display; at which point you could hit 'show actual display', and get scroll bars to move around. This worked great until 2 updates ago. Now the screen scaling and scrollbars still work but the mouse control is completely off. Basically if you have screen 1,2,3 (and screen 2 is the screen with the taskbar), you can not get your mouse onto screen 1 or 3. The mouse region is locked onto screen 2. So in my original example the single monitor's lower right corner will get me to the system tray icons only, even if I have moved the display over to screen 1 or screen 3. Is Mesh aware of this newly introduced problem?Anonymous

Will this version work with Windows Home server (WHS). An outstanding product. ThankyouAnonymous

It would be more correct to not say that this "disabled Aero" since it never did that. It simply forced your glass color to black. Still annoying, but didn't disable any Aero features, and still better looking than Basic :)Anonymous

Please fix the proxy authentication problem with Live Mesh. Without this fix, the program is useless for people who connect to internet through a proxy server (which means - for all internet users here in Singapore). Thanks!Anonymous
