Hello there. I hope this works for you. Link 1 (note the post by Vasudev -he sums it up). That guy knows his stuff as I see his moniker on many varied Win forums and topics.

So check his reply from link above, then try to DL Windows Live EssentiLs from link below (using the waybackmachine’s archive). ***Save the .exe file to a flash drive and run the file/download through VirusTotal.com (a must, and a habit one should always employ -or Sandbox before install, ideally).
*Also, you can copy the URL for the downloadable .exe and scan this URL using VirusTotal’s URL scan BEFORE downloading the actual file.
VirusTotal will often report 1 or 2 False positives, just an Fyi. Simply use your better judgement as YMMV. The link below looks pretty legit however. Here is second link for waybackmachine’s Microsoft’s DL (MS pulled its Active link in January).
