Windows Live Messenger 9 on windows XP 64

Windows Live Messenger 9 on windows XP 64

I found
out that Windows live messenger 9

Version
2009: 14.0.8089.726 or higher is not supported by Windows XP 64
bit.Also read reviews of many other people having problems signing in
into there messenger like me but I actually found out a website on the
internet that fixes this problem, which may also help many others.

You
will need to download and install

  1. Download installer – Messenger.msi
  2. Microsoft Application Error Reporting (32-bit) or Microsoft Application Error Reporting (64-bit) depending
    on which operating system you're using.
  3. Microsoft Visual Studio Runtime
  4. Windows Live Communications Platform


  5. Segoe UI Font
  6. Optional components Windows Live Call but for me I did not install this


After
installing the components 1, 2, 3 , 4 , 5 steps.You should be able to
use your msn messenger 9 on XP 64 Bit and signing with no problem at
all.This may also work with Windows Vista 64 but I didn't test it
myself.

You can also uninstall Messenger 2009 (even if the
above isn't working) by using the ZapMessenger
utility or To uninstall Windows Live Messenger,

  1. Go to the
    bottom screen and click Start
  2. Then click Run
  3. Then
    copy/paste or type the following: msiexec /x
    {A85FD55B-891B-4314-97A5-EA96C0BD80B5}
  4. Then press ok

Another way to manually uninstall Windows
live messenger is to go to "Add or Remove Programs"

  1. Go to the
    bottom screen and click Start
  2. Click "setting"
  3. Click
    "Control Panel"(A window will popup, which is the
    Control Panel)
  4. In this window look for and double click on "Add
    or Remove Programs
    "(A window will popup, which gives you the
    "Add or Remove Programs")This window shows you all the programs that
    have installed on your windows.
  5. On this window.There's 4 options
    on the left side of this window, which are named
  • Change
    or Remove Programs
    ,
  • Add New Programs,

  • Add/Remove Windows Components
  • Set
    Program Access and Defaults
    .

I want you to
Click on the first option"Change or Remove Programs" at
the top left of this window.Then a list of your current installed
programs will load and once its loaded.

6. In that list of
programs.Look for "MSN messenger" and highlight or
select it or click it.

7. Then on the right you should have a
"Remove" button.Click "Remove"(a window will popup,
which is the uninstall window)

8. On this window press ok to
