The quickest way to install Messenger would be to just download and install Messenger
directly from its MSI:

Having just failed miserably to get beta 2009 to run on a Vista machine, I
couldn't revert back to an older version - I kept getting error 0x8000ffff
Following your link and installing the MSI has worked - at least I can now
access messenger even if it's not the latest Beta!
Many thanks
