Install Windows Live Messenger without Invitation

Filed in: Downloads, Microsoft, Technology, Tips — January 14th, 2006

Windows Live Messenger (formerly MSN Messenger 8 ) is the next-generation MSN Messenger. Windows Live Messenger has new Vista look and added some new features such as PC-to-PC calls, sending offline messanges to other Messengers and more.

Windows Live Messenger (MSN 8)

However, current Windows Live Messenger is only opened to beta testers and required an invitation to sign in. But, we always have the way to break it. For curious MSN Messenger users, here I show you how to download, install and sign in Windows Live Messenger beta, without Microsoft invitation.

Warning: Windows Live Messenger Beta is a beta version. It contains bugs and may result unpreditable damage. Do it at your own risk!

Download Windows Live Messenger(formerly MSN Messenger 8 )

First of all, you need to download a copy of Windows Live Messenger installer. Though Microsoft does not disclose the download link but some kind souls revealed it. Here you are, the link to download Windows Live Messenger (Microsoft) !

Launch Windows Live Messenger

After you have downloaded and installed the Windows Live Messenger, you will realise that you cannot sign in it! Don’t worry, it has beendesigned to block you (non-beta testers). It is closed beta, remember?

use MSNlaunch to launch Windows Live Messenger

Now, we need to use a “downgrader” to bypass it. Download and install MSNP13 Downgrader (A-Patch).
Then, launch Windows Explorer and navigate to C:Program FilesMSN Messenger See the “MSNlaunch” icon? Double-click it to launch MSNP13 downgrader and Windows Live Messenger at the same time.
The MSNP13 downgrader will bypass the Windows Live Messenger beta tester check and sign you into the MSN instant messenger network. You’re done!

Note: Since you need to run MSNlaunch to launch Windows Live Messenger, I recommend you put a shortcut icon on desktop for easy access.

Important: If you get annoying popup ads when running the downgrader, get the solution from “
Update: Install Windows Live Messenger without Invitation“.

My two cents

Windows Live Messenger has simple but beautiful user interface design, but it takes up a lot system resources. My poor Pentium III almost cannot handle it… By the way, MSN Messenger finally supports offline message!

Next, I will show you how to remove ads on Windows Live Messenger!

Thanks for visiting, Erich Honeker.

Yes, I am using Adium (I am mac switcher!). There is no ver 8 for mac, anyway.

So far, there is no alternative IM fully compatible with MSN Messenger features such as voice chat, videocam, and smileys.

I think most ppl use MSN Messenger because of those ~~annoying~~ smileys.

Everytime when I Block someone, it shows they are “Blocked”. But when you log off and log-in, you won’t see “Blocked” althought they are still blocked. Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks.
