Study Notes

The IE7.0 often crashes recently, so that I have to write in the notepad and then copy/paste the content to the browser windows. If so, sometimes IE still failed when I click “publish” button. This issue has annoyed me for a few days. I try to fix it by installing the latest blog editor: Windows Live Write, which is provided from Microsoft and seems to be dedicated for their Live space.

First, the below two packages are required: Windows Installer, Windows Update Agent

Second, install the packages, then execute Windows Live Write installation program. This process takes about 20 minutes in my laptop(T23), it would download some files from Microsoft Web site and install them later.

The 360safe software reported some programs want to modify the register table, that will add wextract_cleanup0 to run_once item. The “wextract_cleanup0” is a cleanup command used typically by Microsoft’s IExpress/WExtract self-extracting executables. Up until recently, typical Windows Update packages utilized the WExtract library (and still do for certain things — eg. MSN, WMP installations etc). When the SFX is run, it creates a temp setup folder, typically “IXP0000.tmp”, which then gets deleted automatically after installation completes. The runonce command you’ve posted is the command used to delete this folder. I accept this modification.

OK, the Windows Live Write is installed successfully, and it has nice interface and is easy to edit texts.
