2015-12-18T15:43:33+00:00 Had the same issue after a 'helpful' windows 10 update. I wish they tested updates before shipping them out!!!
I found wldcore.dll in an older folder and had to copy it to lots of places before I found the right one. Windows live/mail .. windows mail both in programs and programs(86). Cant remember which was the last one ( I think windows mail) but it now works and I haven't lost the accounts. I did try reloading windows live and of course it didn't work.

If I could find the full download file that could be another option. Usualy when you run the install it woulds say "these programs need updating" and everythings golden.
There have not been any update to install since at least January 2013. I'd reinstall completely if I had an easy backup.

2015-12-05T16:54:41+00:00 Windows Live Essentials is a 32-bit program. If you are using a 64-bit version of Windows 7, you will find the files in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared folder. Then, you will need to copy them to C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Contacts, C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Mail and C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Messenger.
