What I have is not a big file, it is not even the program. It is an install file that goes to the internet and downloads the actual Windows Essentials suite. That may well be where the problem arises, the install program starts to run, but quits with error message after about a minute and a half -- probably because it goes to Microsoft to get the actual program files and Microsoft has removed them.

So even if I could send my install file to Shonky, it wouldn't do him much good. I'll see if I can't find the actual Windows Essentials files somewhere.
