Outdated information struck  

I uninstalled Windows Essentials so that I could reinstall it.  It is the reinstall that created the problem..After the reinstall I got the error message that 'WLDCore.dll was missing and Windows Live Mail cannot function without it.  I have reinstalled Windows Essentials several times to try to install WLDCore.dll with no success...I still get the same error message.  I cannot uninstall and reinstall because Window Essentials is NOT there to uninstall.  I have tried to install 'WLDCore.dll' from the internet with NO success.This is not a 'Live Messenger' issue...I am trying to get my email service back with Windows Essentials... Any help you can give me will be appreciated...

I got the same isseu!

I am having the WLDCore.dll issue with the windows essential installatins.  The dialog indicating the absence of WDLCore.dll persists.  Is iit possible that the Windows essentials file is corrupt?  I ask because the  problem persists on Multiple systems and after multiple  reinstallations on each of 3 systems.

I had same issue. Here is how to fix it. This is easy and works! Thanks to whoever figured it out.

After long day of research, at last I got the solution. It seems the new Windows Live has grouped the wldcore.dll and wldlog.dll (used by Messenger, Contacts and Mail) to a folder c:\Program Files\Windows Live\Shared

Maybe because I did upgrade install it screwed up things.

The solution was simply copy paste those 2 files wldcore.dll and wldlog.dll from c:\Program Files\Windows Live\Shared to

• c:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger
• c:\Program Files\Windows Live\Contacts
• c:\Program Files\Windows Live\Mail

Now I can login to Windows Live Messenger and enjoy the whole Windows Live Essentials 2011 products.

I have tried to fix the problem on my pc.

But.... it does not work with windows 7!

in windows 7 there doesn't exist a file named  .......\ live\ shared.

what can I do now?
