This doesnt seem to work.

I installed the final today (Dutch language finally).

But the .cache map doesnt exist
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Windows Live, that map is made by the installer but it does not put anything in there.

Just make sure to uncheck the box that hides system files in folder options in Windows Explorer. Also, you need to uncheck the one that says Show hidden files and folders.

I will update the tutorial, links to the full installers and a new set of switchless installers will be done tomorrow.

Just the program and the required components. NO toolbars.

The switchless installer can be downloaded now.

They are the same as the RC, which stood as final version.

I will try to look for the files in my laptop, but tomorrow.

Meanwhile, try looking for the Wave RC (Released in december). That installer surely extracts the files to that .cache folder.

@Raoul90,
thanks for the link..

I'm newbie on this..I read the tutorial.doc but I do't understand on which table I will create these rows?

Quote

The following rows needs to be created because they don't exist.

Property Value
ADDBHO No-AddBHO
ADDLINKS AddLinks
SETHOMEPAGE No-SetMyHomePage
ALLOWRHAPSODY No-AllowRhapsody


on property table?

I discovered that on a Windows XP if you remove the old Windows Messenger that came with the OS using:

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

after running 'WLM9 Switchless.exe' you will get an error saying that it is looking for 'wlm.msi' in the temp directory. I have found that if you run the command to remove the old version first then run 'WLM9 Switchless.exe' you will not get the error.

elajua:
Thanks for the great work you are doing to make our lives easier! :thumbup

I updated the main post to make sure everyone sees that Requisites Switchless needs to be installed as well.

Sadly, there is no way to slim down the size of WLM and its requisites.

On my main computer, i have an uninstall entry, but i will look into this on other computers as soon as i find some time.
