IT Support from Eitex.
If you have tried to install the latest version of Messenger Live on to Server 2003 or Windows XP x64 then you may have received the following error message:
Sorry, Windows Live programs cannot be installed on Windows Server, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, or Windows operating systems earlier than Windows XP Service Pack 2.
The official download site for Windows Live Messenger states Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP x64 are not supported..
In actual fact it is the installer which is incompatible with these operating systems, not the program itself! To get round this an MSI install file has been created. This unsupported installer works fine although the responsibility of installing it is yours!
You can download the MSI file from here.
Once installed you may get the following error:
We were unable to sign you into Windows Live Messenger at this time. Please try again later
If you get this error you will need to install contacts.msi which can be downloaded from here. Again, this worked fine for me, but the responsibility is yours!
Hope this works for you.
