Windows Live Writer doesn’t work well under Windows 7 beta x64

by Miha Markič 19. January 2009 15:01

I’ve tried to run Windows Live Writer under Windows 7 beta today. It runs but it can’t upload pictures through FTP. There are two indications of the problem:

when you configure FTP connection it will yield this warning

The remote server could not be contacted to verify the settings. Do you want to continue anyway?

Publish or save draft to server will yield an error:

Error occurred while transferring file [picture name here]

(Publishing Error) A publishing error occurred: The source of the error is unknown.

I wonder whether this bug is related to x64, Windows 7 beta or to both.
