Live Messenger on XP x64

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.

Mux it, I get a firewall error on window xp 64 bit

WLM on my other computer (right next to this one) works, and they are both
connected to the same router. What is the problem and solution?

we were unable to sign you into WLM......

Error Code 80048820
extended error code: 80048412

The only firewall is windows firewall and this installation is brand new,
the only thing on it: firefox, sp2 xp64, video and audio drivers, and LAN
