The latest wave 4 beta does not support XP. But the wave 3 release does:

X-Mailer: Microsoft Windows Live Mail 14.0.8117.416

I guess means I don't have Wave 3? Can I safely just install Wave 3
over what i have?

Hi, Charles.

Looks like Oji and Winston are busy at the moment, so I'll try to fill in.

That build (14.0.8117.416) is the last one issued for Wave 3's WLM 14; it
was a minor update that I never bothered to install over the year-old
14.0.8089.0726.

The new Wave 4 beta (build 15.3.2804.0607) installed smoothly for me last
week, right over the top of Wave 3. ;<) I got it from
http://explore.live.com/windows-live-essentials-beta

As you can read from many posts here, Wave 4 is working well for many of us,
although there are several bugs that remind us that it is, after all, still
in beta.

Thank you but I have been told this is the last version that will work
under XP - so I can't upgrade.

Charles..
That is correct ...if you have version 14.0.8117.416...you can not upgrade to a later version.

That is slightly different(upgrading) than your original request..
<qp>
I'd like to backup the custom folders and then remove all windows Live
products then install again
</qp>
I.e. you can still do the above, but only 'install again' with the Wave 3/2009 version(14.0.8117.416) which is still available and
should continue so for the foreseeable future.

I guess I was not aware that wave 3 WAS version 14.0.8117.416 -
sorry.
