Live Messenger on XP x64

[Guest mjs]

Can someone give me a direct link to the latest XP x64 compatible version of

Live Messenger?

Greetings,

 

8.1 should work fine:

If you're looking for 8.5 beta, you'll need the MSInstaller file directly, like from here:

But are these links to 64-bit proprietary versions, or the same versions

that run on 32-bit XP and Vista?

 

I am looking for a 64-bit version of Live Messenger.

Hi mjs,

 

There is no native x64 version of Windows Live Messenger. The standard 32

bit version runs fine on x64.

Well, the Beta link Jonathan provided won't even install the darn thing on

x64. It hangs at the file decompression stage. Guess I'll try the 8.1 next.

I'm running version 8.1 on both Xp 64 and Vista 64 and works just fine on

both.

Hi,

 

8.5 runs fine on my Windows Server 2008 x64 as well.

Re: Live Messenger on XP x64

 

It's too bad that the Live folks have such poor support for x64. I

can't believe that they can't get a 64 bit unified installer or make

the msi's officially available on the MS site.

 

Beware of the "important" update for the Windows Live Photo Gallery

beta on x64 as it breaks a few things that were running ok on the

beta.
