I recently tried to re-install Windows Live Essentials, but failed because the uninstall file wlarp.exe was corrupted. A quick Google research revealed that many other users had a similar problem.
Microsoft even had a support page for this, but unfortunately the download link to wlarp.exe wasn’t working anymore. After failing to find a reliable source for the file, I remembered that I might still have it on an old notebook. I did, and the installation worked!
If you were also looking for wlarp.exe, here it is: wlarp.exe
The .exe file is zipped because WordPress didn’t allow me to upload an exe file.
Just download & unzip. Hope this helps! 🙂
Thanks you so much for supplying this file, I needed it badly and it did the job!
Thank you so much!
Saved the day!
hi, you might have just saved me 🙂 many thanks and I love your life!
Thank you so much! I was really struggling with this!
Thanks for the file, it was what I was looking for to complete a manual uninstall. Cheers!
Woo-hoo! You single-handedly saved the day! Was trying to downgrade from WL 2012 to WL 2011, but some traces were still left in the uninstall that I couldn’t for the life of me seem to fin manually. Tried this and 2011 just finished installing just fine! Thank you so much!
