Looking for BETA installers of Windows Live 2008 components

Hello, I don’t know if MessengerGeek Forum is the right place to discuss this kind of topic (since I’m a new user), so I apologise in advance, but I’m looking for lost offline installers of the following Windows Live (Wave 2) BETA components (only BETA and not Final!).

I don’t want online installers since they are useless (only offline ones), and I prefer ENG/EN-US versions. If anyone has offline installers for these WL Beta apps, then please share a working and freely accessible link (like on MediaFire, MEGA, Dropbox, 4shared, etc…). Thanks in advance.

Here’s a few to start (via archive):
Windows Live Mail Desktop 8.0.932

Windows Live Mail Desktop 8.0.1034

Windows Live Mail Desktop 8.0.1172

Windows Live Mail Desktop 8.0.1223

To install these, you have to bypass the bootstrapper and run the MSI directly to avoid it doing a rollback when it tries to reach Microsoft Update. You can do this by adding /c:"msiexec.exe /i WLMail.msi" to the command line when you run the executable. For example, .\Install_WLMail.exe /c:"msiexec.exe /i WLMail.msi" at the command line/powershell after navigating to the right folder/directory. Alternatively, to bypass the Microsoft Update problem, you can disable the network in Windows/use airplane mode while installing.
