Windows Live Messenger not supported in Windows 2008 Server

Recommended Posts

as you may or may not know, Windows 2008 Server doesn't support Windows Live Messenger, in fact, when you try to install it you'll get the following error

 

Sorry, Windows Live programs cannot be installed on Windows Server, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, or Windows operating systems earlier than Windows XP SP2

why ? I don't know, however after some searching I found the following download (MSI package) which DOES work in Windows 2008 Server.

 

so here you go, download the MSI file of Windows Live Messenger v8.5.1302.1018 here, it's a silent install so once you run it, it will install Messenger Live silently (no questions asked during the install process).

 

Please Digg this so others will know the fix

 

cheers
