Windows Live Applications is a bundle of Microsoft software that can be downloaded for free. However, as is the growing trend now, you can only get a web installer of under 1 MB that then downloads the hefty 134 MB installer from the internet.
This is fine for power users, but anyone with a slow connection, multiple computers etc. will find it extremely uncomfortable or even impossible to use. For such a situation, you should use an offline (standalone) installer.
The trouble is, of course that it is almost impossible to find a download link to the offline Windows Live Apps standalone installer on the official website.
