Windows Update logs its activity to WindowsUpdate.log file which you can find in your Windows base directory.
I was really patient but as I don't see a half an hour as little longer I killed the installer and began investigating.ĭuring the installation I was looking what processes were active and so I found out that Windows Live Writer Installer actually uses Windows Update to download files and install them. Everything seemed to be fine until the progress bar captioned 'checking your computer for Windows Live programs' changed to 'Sorry, this is taking a little longer than expected'. I found the tool to be quite useful for writing blog posts offline so when I finally created my own blog I immediately downloaded the installer in order to start writing on my notebook. First time I tried Windows Live Writer a few months ago when I was experimenting with BlogEngine.NET.
