| > Even better was Windows (Live) Photo Gallery. Sadly it's dead since Feb 2017, you can't even install it anymore, as only a now broken WebInstaller exists. This sounds like a challenge. You're on. - Do some scratching around; discover sites hosting "wlsetup-all.exe" - Point the Web Archive at download.live.com - After some trial and error with broken pages find http://web.archive.org/web/20161130174327/https://support.mi... - Follow the "Download options" link - Eventually land on http://web.archive.org/web/20161226002912/https://support.mi..., and disable JavaScript so the page doesn't kill itself (remember on Chrome you just click the (i) to the left of the URL) - Ah, a "Download Now" link! $ curl -vv http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=255475

Hmm... (note s/web/all/g)

Hmmm.- Try and load wl.dlservice.microsoft.com/robots.txt in the Web Archive - Get redirected to Microsoft homepage!! - Lookup wl.dlservice.microsoft.com/* in Web Archive - "805 URLs have been captured for this domain." - Search for "c1ba..." - get hits! http://web.archive.org/web/20170416220642/http://wl.dlservic... 137329840 bytes. There are other sites that have copies of the file, but a) this one is from the Web Archive and b) I've verified using a mixture of WA and still-live Microsoft redirects that this is the latest-ever release. |
