Microsoft Customer Support - I'm loving it! (part 2)

I guess some of you remember my earlier rant about my issues with installing Live Writer and Microsoft's Customer Support. Well, the other day I finally had some time to follow the steps outlined in the latest reply from their support-team which basically asked for me to provide them with the log-files created during the installation. So I took them and attached them to the following e-mail:

Hello again,

I followed all the suggested steps mentioned below unfortunately I'm still having the same issue with not being able to install Windows Live Writer.

I have attached a copy of the log-file and hope that helps you to be able to resolve this problem

Thanks in advance,
Christoph

I immediatly received a reply telling me that the *.log file that they had asked me to send them couldn't be processed by the system because "the attachment extension was not valid". So I renamed the files to *.log.txt and sent it off again.

The next morning I woke up and had the following reply in my inbox (my emphasis):

Hello Christoph,

Thank you for contacting Windows Live Writer Technical Support. My name is MNO and I understand that you encountered an error message when installing the Windows Live Writer. I appreciate that you have taken the time to write this to us.

Christoph, after reviewing the details you provided, I want to let you know that your inquiry is quite isolated and unique.

Sincerely,

MNO

Great, I guess I was the one with the lucky straw which means that my issue is both isolated and unique! Plus after all those e-mails telling them that I can't get that damn thing to install on my box I'm still being thanked for "using Windows Live Writer". Kicking me when I'm down?

Anyway, I haven't heard back from Microsoft since November, 12th and I'm not holding my breath for a quick solution. I guess I'll just have to wait for a new version of the software and hope that they fix whatever bug is keeping me from being able to install Live Writer.

Consider this case closed until further notice...
