A casual trip to the Spaces blog made me notice that Windows Live Writer’s (WLW) Beta 3 was available for download. Having been a regular user of WLW, I thought of upgrading it and hence downloaded the installer. Woe befell me when I noticed this message when I attempted to ran the installer:
My OS is Windows Server 2003 and my immediate thoughts were ‘Dang! MS People have made it Vista-only!!!’ Luckily, I hadn’t un-installed the existing WLW from my system. So I have to wait till the official release is made available (what if that too ain’t compatible with Windows 2003 server 😐 )
P.S: Too many W’s in the title, weren’t they?
There’s a workaround. Post a question in the Writer forum and someone will help you!

@Joe: Yep! I did a quick search and did find out the work-around. It is not WLW’s problem as such but the Installer’s. I got hold of the MSI file and hopefully, am good to go.
Care to share the URL for the english MSI version?
Thanks,

Check out my Other Post for the MSI location.
Had the same issue with the beta of WLW and the fix/patch worked. But is there also a fix/patch available for the Release?
