rajesh.kumar Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Full Setup link : http://g.live.com/1rebeta3/en/wlsetup-all.exe1) Run it and go to folder : %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Windows Live\.cache 2) You would find many folders there and the names are self explainatory.3) Copy whatever file you may require and use /passive /norestart options as they are msi files.4) For error free installation, you may use this order of installation : wlxsuite.msi, crt.msi, contacts.msi, messenger.msi and other files if required.
Sonic Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 (edited) seems to works for installation and use but something is broked for uninstall process. Nothing runs when you uninstall messenger.Anyone use this method ?edit: it seems microsoft application report tools (dw20shared) doesn't install correctly/fully. It doesn't appears in "uninstall" regkey, in manul install it appears correctly ...btw, Happy New Year to all members ! Edited January 1, 2009 by Sonic
Sonic Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) okay after many tests , dw20shared isn't needed. but the .tmp file present in "%CommonProgramFiles%\Windows Live\.cache" is needed, it's installer for remove / repair installation.If you use retail file this tmp is about 140mb because it's contains all setup files.So, to reduce my install to 36mb, I have run install from the web package and I grab all file from "%CommonProgramFiles%\Windows Live\.cache" then I make batch to install msi in the same order in the cache.ini(the .tmp file of web package is about 15kb ...)

beats Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Try this: Windows Live Messenger 9, Tutorial and Switchless Installers. Multilanguage usage.
Nucleus Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 If I only want to install live messenger, and be able to see it in add/remove programs, which msi's do I have to install?

oskingen Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) What's the need of that ping 127.0.0.1 >nul 2>&1 ?and for the cache.ini and wlc*.tmp, do I let them in my msi source folder ? Edited March 22, 2009 by hannubys
ice262004 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Hi guyswindows live messenger install isnt work for XP service pack 3 seem not complete downloading. who know how to solve problem this.. thanks =)
Stoner81 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Or you could use the tool that benners has made to do all this for you.
Sonic Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 @hannubys: ping are for wait a moment before start wlm ... if not sometimes it launched too fast ...the .ini and the .tmp must kept in folder or uninstaller will be broken.I use this "manual" method in "production" without any problem on xp sp3 pro/home and vista sp1 too.
Stoj Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 I'm in the need of installing this for my company. I tried to follow everything in here. I have a batch file running the followingmsiexec /i "%DrivePath%\crt.msi" /qnmsiexec /i ""%DrivePath%\contacts.msi" /qnmsiexec /i ""%DrivePath%\SegoeFont.msi" /qnmsiexec /i ""%DrivePath%\wlc.msi" /qnmsiexec /i ""%DrivePath%\RichUpload.msi" /qnmsiexec /i ""%DrivePath%\wllogin.msi" /qnmsiexec /i ""%DrivePath%\wlxsuite.msi" /qnmsiexec /i ""%DrivePath%\choiceguard.msi" /qnmsiexec /i ""%DrivePath%\messenger.msi" /qnNote that the .tmp file and cache.ini are in the "%DrivePath%Now after I run it....nothing installs. Any suggestions?
ajua Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Have you checked those double quotes and that the variable %DrivePath% is correctly set before running your cmd file? Also, you can use just a path with the msi like this: C:\installer.msi /qb /norestartYou can use Benners tool to make your own installer or you can also download my switchless installer from the link in my signature.
Stoj Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 elajua,I like the idea of using yours but the problem is, after I install it, I attempt to sign in and get an error.We can't sign you in to Windows Live Messenger.Service is temprorarily unavailable.Error Code: 80040154I'm running Windows XP SP3
oskingen Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Yeah i got this error too with ajua switchless when i tried to sign for the first time but you try one more time it works.

Otherwise, you will get the sign-in error.I made a separate installer for the requisites so i could release and English and Spanish version. Also, you can make use Messenger in other language by just installing the Requisites and MessengerInYourLanguage.msi
