Hmmm, so you will get the 500 error if your first name is Rick…

I did resolve the 500 error by doing a whole bunch of things, but I’m not sure which finally fixed it. Ultimately, after uninstalling Live Mesh, restarting my MacBook, re-downloading the Mac Mesh client using Safari (instead of Firefox) and reinstalling resolved the 500 error. I tried each one of these steps individually and could not resolve the error, but doing them all in sequence somehow worked.

You can get the WM6 cab file here.

Wmexperts got it yesterday – it had log in issues but was fixed today

Typepad included the trailing parenthesis by mistake. Maybe they should be reading Jeff Atwood’s blog. http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001181.html

I’m getting the 500 error, too. From the forums (http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/LiveMesh/thread/b8b13e8c-9d16-49f5-8982-afc35263bd7f) a number of people are getting that error.

I’ve updated my personal machine as well. I’m getting a new work PC (hopefully today, if I can trust the status email our helpdesk system mailed out) so I’ve held off on updating there.

Kevin, I’m glad that you were able to get it to work. On my Mac, I keep getting a “500″ error whenever I try to sign on using the Mac Mesh client.

All of my Windows PCs have been updated to the new client software version and work with no problems.
