Windows Live Messenger 8.5 beta 2

Added on: 28 May 2007 / Changed on: 28 Dec 2007 / Downloads: 160475
Version: 8.5.1288

Facts:

- New installer icon
- New setup look
- New Desktop icon (with TM branding)
- New installation path (C:/Program Files/Windows Live/Messenger)
- New GUI
- Windows OneCare integration
- New smile. Just type ('.') in a convo window

If setup doesn't work, try this:

By Pathetic: Windows Vista - Go to C:/ProgramData
or
Windows XP - Go to C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data

You might have to show hidden files/folders - finally delete "WindowsLiveInstaller" as well as "WLInstaller" - this should fix the issue of closing half-way through an installation.

commented on 09 19,2007 by HENSON

have had trouble diplaying my display picture - not any of usual problems though - somehow wen you click on the "show my dp and allow others to see it" box it will always reset to unchecked wen you click ok or relpy.. also uponthe change picture option, the "don't show a picture" box is checked and greyed out so you cannot change it. also wen selecting a VALID file name ( all types tried) it will always result in a "not valid file" notice..
any advice would be great. cheers

I need to download this new package of msn 8.5

commented on 09 14,2007 by somethink

Every single time i sign in to live messenger it immediately have a pop up saying sth like "live messenger has encountered a problem and needs to be closed" and then it closes down itself.

This is getting frustrating especially since they don't allow us to use older versions anymore.

Any help please?

MSN 8.5 contains Microsoft Spyware that feeds personal information back to microsoft. It loads these "mystery updates" that constantly triggers my firewall. What are they loading on my computer. I only want to talk to my buddies, not feed the MSN monster.

commented on 09 13,2007 by Courtney

Install_WLMessenger.exe

and that is all.

What am I doing wrong?
