After searching far and wide I found a solution to not being able to install the lates version of Windows Live applications on Windows 2003(and 2008) Server.
My desire is pretty much for only Live Writer but all the 'Live' apps are now completely bundled.
You can't simply download and install the 'writer installer' anymore. [this was a solution for Live Writer beta 3]
After downloading the full Windows Live installer - wlsetup-all.exe
You must make adjustments to the actual installer that will allow for a ‘server’ install (A 'non supported' OS).
First download and extract ‘Resource Hacker’ to a folder (desktop is simplest)
Next run ResHacker.exe and open the setup file – wlsetup-all.exe
Locate CONFIG 0. and expand
Then go to ‘View’ on the menu bar and ‘Find’ enter ‘Workstation’ and find any references and replace with Server.
Then ‘Compile’ and Save the installer.
You can then run the install and all should work!!! Did for me anyways.
Good luck.
