E29NP1546080952 1,383 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Im in the process of updating an old PC I have as a back up for bits and bobs. It currently running Vista and I downloaded the Service Pack 2 for it last night. I want to up date the Outlook and when I downloaded the exe file for Windows Live Essentials, however it's asking me to first to get Windows Platform Update. It provides me with a link that just times out eventually. Has anyone got another link to the Windows Platform Update. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infected 35 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) Here is a page with a working link (i've tested it)..... *link removed* Your windows has to be Validated before you can download. Edited March 5, 2011 by Infected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E29NP1546080952 1,383 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) Just tried that download. It says the update does not apply to my system. And my Windows was validated. Edited March 5, 2011 by pmtts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infected 35 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) Wrong link sorry.... 64 bit (x64) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=a8a98227-6acf-4a92-9766-9237f4af9675&displaylang=en 32 bit (x86) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=c00f9a3a-6aef-446c-af8f-01ba008b6474&displaylang=en edit: I should have asked this first, but, do you know if your running Vista: 64bit (x64) or 32bit (x86) ? If you don't know, the way to find out is to press the "windows" key + Pause break at the same time and your system properties will pop up. It will say either "32bit" or "64 bit operating sytem" In the info on the window that pops. edit2: x64 link added Edited March 5, 2011 by Infected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E29NP1546080952 1,383 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) It's 32 bit that I'm running. I tried the second link you provided, and it's still saying to me the update does not apply to my system. Edit: I think I have found what update I need.
