Looking for a full offline installer for Windows Live Essentials Wave 4 Beta? I’ve found it: To my surprise i saw this tweet by Ed Bott. I was about to install the Essentials 2011 beta again after doing a format.

Unlike previous betas and versions there were no Offline Installer(not even a torrent).

It made quite a buzz for most of the Live Essentials beta users to see that the Essentials Installer was an online one.
