Windows Live Wave 4 Available by June 7
Windows Live Essentials Wave 4, a build has finally been leaked (build number 15.2.2585.0122); however, it’s an old build as Windows Live Wave 4 is already on Milestone 3 (so far the latest report has been build number 15.3.2659.319), or maybe more (with messenger at build number 15.3.2649.311). Even so, here are the build numbers for this version:
So far it looks as though the most interesting new updates for are Facebook integration (Messenger), tabbed messaging(Messenger), animated emoticons (Messenger), and Ribbon UI in Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Writer, and Windows Live Photo Gallery.
However, there are many bugs, incomplete features, and other problems in this leak as it’s an outdated pre-beta build, so it’s definitely not recommended for any production machines. But according to popular rumor, a Milestone 3 build should be released May 18, 2010, with a beta build compiled by June 3, 2010 and released to the public by June 7, 2010. However, all dates should be taken with a grain of salt until officially confirmed by Microsoft.
Readers are recommended to wait for the beta leak as this build is likely several months old

Couldn’t update to the latest version. Couldn’t install these programs: Sync, Messenger, Mail, Companion, Writer, Family Safety, Bing Bar, Photo Gallery and Movie Maker because there was a problem updating one of the programs, none of them were updated.
