Client Software Update (0.9.3424.14)

re: Service Update (January 13, 2009)

Sam — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 23:23:27 GMT

Aero in Windows 7 still not working for me. It went off, came back, then went off again, and reenabling it under Personalize doesn't do anything. I'll try a restart, although this still needs ironing out.

Also, is it possible to sync multiple folders to a single folder in Mesh? Since I'm dual booting, as are many people, drive letter names are different in the two operating systems. Does Live Mesh recognize them as two separate folders or a single common folder?

@ Sam,

We haven't released the update quite yet: it's coming later today (and we'll update this blog post once the new version has been deployed).

Thanks guys. Windows 7 doesn't look sooo nice without Aero.

I love Mesh it's really usefull and now i can really use Win7 AND Mesh...that#s really great!

Oh I see. Sorry about that! I didn't realize you hadn't actually released the update. Thanks. I'll look forward to testing it when it comes out.

why wasn't live mesh featured at CES? combined with onenote, it's a powerful tool for real-time note-taking and sharing for students and people in the 'real world' taking notes at meetings, presentations, etc. it definitely has killer app potential; you guys just need to market it right.

re: Client Software Update (0.9.3424.14)

Scott Savage — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 09:27:44 GMT

Right click the system tray icon and select "Check for Updates". Otherwise it will update automatically. You can also click the (?) icon and choose "Version" to see if you are running the latest version.

re: Client Software Update (0.9.3424.14)

Nico — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 09:50:03 GMT

The update is released after the ssl problem is solved.

After release: RMB on your live mesh icon and choose update.

I tried installing Live Mesh on Windows7. But its showing me an error. After installing, It again Uninstalls itself and shows me an error saying

"Live Mesh service is unavailable.

Please retry your installation later.

[80072F78] The server returned an invalid or unrecognized response."

What to do? Or is the update process going on in the website (server)??

@fsx: Right click on the mesh icon "check for updates", but otherwise you'll be alerted automatically when it's pushed down.

@meshteam : Can't believe you havent sorted out the SSL! LOL! I have to say after all this waiting, it's a huge clang - and, if i'm as frank as can be, it doesnt say much for the testing process if it's only uncovered now! Oh well - thankfully Mesh is so awesome i'll forgive you all!

When available you should right click on Livemesh icon and select update option.

However the update was not released on 13th. I wish we receive it by 14th.

If we download the bits directly off the website, will we get the latest/greatest client.. ? I can understand the updater wouldn't work without SSL cert being renewed, but what about direct download.. ?

I am particularly disappointed that this new update doesn't fix the problem I have with live mesh which makes it unsuable. Ever since it went from a tech preview to beta I get get the message 'Could not sign into live Mesh. Please try later. Request to MOE timed-out'. How much later is latter? Reported but problem still remains. Please let this be fixed in the next update.

re: Client Software Update (0.9.3424.14)

Chris L — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 20:40:47 GMT

Everyone that's getting the error, hold tight. That's because the SSL certificate that the client trying to authenticate with server side is expired. It has nothing to do with UAC, anti-virus, or the Live Mesh client, nor is it anything on your computer. Wait until the blog is updated and then it'll install.

re: Client Software Update (0.9.3424.14)

mike — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 20:44:24 GMT

i just wonder. is the death of mesh inevitable??? is it going to be synced with sync eventualy. or is live sycn goiing to be linched and mesh will be the only one in the end. does anyone know ?? is mesh just for testing improvements for sync or is it its own software line.

re: Client Software Update (0.9.3424.14)

nathanscott — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 20:50:30 GMT

So the SSL certificate expired... that should explain why people can't complete a fresh install.

Thanks for keeping us informed, and thanks for such a brilliant product! (My computer seems so incomplete without Live Mesh.)

I got the updates on all my machines and Aero is back on Windows 7, but it still kicks back to basic on the host machine when I connect to one of the other machines. Definitely not as big of deal as it being gone the whole time. ;)

Given that you can no longer "right-click" on the Mesh client in Windows 7, how do you force it to check for updates?

Ian

re: Client Software Update (0.9.3424.14)

AntonioSDeT — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 01:48:06 GMT

@Ian: You can acomplish that by click on "Show hidden icons", then "Customize..." and in the "Notification Area Icons" dialog selecting the "Show Icon and notifications" for Live Mesh Monitor.

re: Client Software Update (0.9.3424.14)

Jordan — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 03:08:55 GMT

@Ian and @Antonio

Or, you can just show the extra icons and drag the Mesh icon to the tray with the rest of them.

Telling Mesh to update isn't finding anything for me right now. Are there still issues?

re: Client Software Update (0.9.3424.14)

rmclaren — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 06:49:06 GMT

Why does my phone, which is running the Live Mesh client and is online, not show up as online from the taskbar icon on my laptop?

And why, when I connect to a folder from the phone, does the Live Mesh client have to open a browser window and then ask me to sign in, when I am already signed in to the Live Mesh client? Shouldn't the client have a built in file browser or at least better integration with the browser?

This is very much a work in progress.

That's got to be a bug then. You can right click the other items in the "show hidden icons" section.

Can we now put the Windows Live Mail Storage Folder into Mesh?

I have read, that that caused an endless sync loop.

Neken — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 21:16:22 GMT

I really wish Live Mesh would work with custom themes under windows xp. I know they are not "microsoft signed" and all that, but I do think many people change their skin to get something else than teletubbies-like skins. Live mesh really breaks the explorer with custom themes.

Apart from that it works ok. Not that great on conflicts (versus SVN) and sometime it takes a while before my changed file goes to the other computers (foldershare updated files instantly).

@Brian

Just remove your Mac from the Mesh in the Live Desktop, delete the folders "Live ID" and "Live Mesh" under ~/Library/Application Support and it should run fine on 10.5.6.

@Live Mesh team

Just wanted to thank you guys... absolutely amazing piece of tech and now even my netbook running 7 is part of the Mesh. However, I would suggest automatically expanding the ring in the Live Desktop as with 8 devices, things start getting a bit messy.

John L — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 06:06:38 GMT

Live Mesh is definitely now having problems on OS X 10.5.6. Resetting the client worked for about a day and then it broke again. Having to reset the client daily is not cool.

Hi,

will you fix problems with proxy servers ?

We have a proxy configuration url (proxy.pac) with proxy authentication, live mesh doesn't recognize these settings properly, and live mesh can't do proxy authentication (that's the bigger problem).

TIA and regards, Ralf

Raide — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 18:54:21 GMT

I have a mesh on 2 devices(workstations) one with 3 monitors at 1600x1200 and the other with 1 monitor at 1920x1200. In the original mesh release, I was able to RDP (assuming its RDP) into the 3 monitor machine with the 1 monitor machine and it would do screen scaling of the 3 to 1. Though difficult to read, it was good for general overall display; at which point you could hit 'show actual display', and get scroll bars to move around. This worked great until 2 updates ago. Now the screen scaling and scrollbars still work but the mouse control is completely off. Basically if you have screen 1,2,3 (and screen 2 is the screen with the taskbar), you can not get your mouse onto screen 1 or 3. The mouse region is locked onto screen 2. So in my original example the single monitor's lower right corner will get me to the system tray icons only, even if I have moved the display over to screen 1 or screen 3.

Is Mesh aware of this newly introduced problem?

It would be more correct to not say that this "disabled Aero" since it never did that.

It simply forced your glass color to black. Still annoying, but didn't disable any Aero features, and still better looking than Basic :)

Whenever Mesh updates (d/l or u/l) it takes over the CPU. With an i7 920 CPU it has all cores maxed out, essentially putting the CPU under full load. CPU Temp runs as hot as it does in games...

Problem is apparent on my Core 2 Duo laptop as well. Though average CPU usage is 50% instead of 100%.
