Windows Live Essentials Offline Installer Download
As of this morning, March 22, 2017,
Windows Essentials 2012 download offline installer (Microsoft site) is no longer available.
(March 21, 2017 was the last date the offline installer was available.)
-------------------
As this download is no longer available, further daily reports here on availability will cease.
Can somebody PLEASE give me a working link to Windows Essentials 2012, preferably the offline installer? It's not on Microsoft anymore, and I want to use the Live Mail and Photos apps in place of the default Win10 apps.

Windows Live Essentials 2011 is finally out of beta and is now available for download. The Windows Live Essentials 2011, Wave 4, beta refresh was released over a month back, and it is good to see. Windows Live Essentials is a free Microsoft-developed suite that bundles instant messaging, email, blogging, and photo management. We're big fans of software suites that auto-update without getting in the way, and that let you weed out unwanted applications from its roster without having to get sneaky.
