 * Hi,
    I installed Windows Live Writer and I tryed to set up my WordPress blog 
   with it… But when I must to select a provider and I choose WordPress 2.2+ and
   path of the xmlrpc file and click next I receive a error like this : “xmlrpc.
   php”->”Error 406″… If I try to open xmlrpc.php file from browser I see the following
   message: “Internet Explorer cannot read this webpage format”… I can read it only
   if I change its name… Ok, what Can I do to can set it up with Writer? Thank You

 * I’m not sure what an error 406 is for Windows Live Writer (WLW). Normally WLW
   would detect the correct URL for the XML-RPC end point. What’s the URL of the
   blog you are trying this with?

 * ill bet your host disabled loading pages with the pattern xmlrpc in the filename.
 * 406 is a fairly common mod_security response.
