I will try to look for the files in my laptop, but tomorrow.

Meanwhile, try looking for the Wave RC (Released in december). That installer surely extracts the files to that .cache folder.

@Raoul90,
thanks for the link..

I'm newbie on this..I read the tutorial.doc but I do't understand on which table I will create these rows?

Quote

The following rows needs to be created because they don't exist.

Property Value
ADDBHO No-AddBHO
ADDLINKS AddLinks
SETHOMEPAGE No-SetMyHomePage
ALLOWRHAPSODY No-AllowRhapsody


on property table?

I discovered that on a Windows XP if you remove the old Windows Messenger that came with the OS using:

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

after running 'WLM9 Switchless.exe' you will get an error saying that it is looking for 'wlm.msi' in the temp directory. I have found that if you run the command to remove the old version first then run 'WLM9 Switchless.exe' you will not get the error.

I updated the main post to make sure everyone sees that Requisites Switchless needs to be installed as well.

Sadly, there is no way to slim down the size of WLM and its requisites.

On my main computer, i have an uninstall entry, but i will look into this on other computers as soon as i find some time.

Yes, they are to be created in the property table:
"The following rows needs to be created in the Property table because they don’t exist."

I made tests and you will need more components. If some components are missing, you will get some login errors, such as the one another user posted earlier in this thread.

Are you using the full installer in your language? or the web setup? If so, use the full installer instead.

When I install 'WLM9 Requisites Switchless' it adds 'Windows Live Call Beta' to the Program Files menu. Is it really a beta or the release version?

The full installer of Wave 3 Final didn't update my Windows Live Call, so i suppose it is still in Beta.

However, as soon as i reformat my laptop i will make a clean install of that installer to see if there is any change to Windows Live Call when installing from scratch.

http://rapidshare.de...MSN9FR.exe.html

French version of final Messenger 2009.
no adverstising, components included. compatible with SVCPACK.

update

1. Added SVCPACK compatibility (now it caches the files locally by adding the line to 7zip
InstallPath="%COMMONPROGRAMFILES%\\Windows Live\\cache"
2. smaller size by using administrative point on all installers, not only messenger (19MB instead of 24mb).
3. patched files to remove advertising, and some tweaks.


edit:
by the way. in error reporting installer i see the files named DWINTL20.DLL for different languages. if someone knows is it possible to leave just files for needed languages? the installer size is getting couple of mbs smaller. there are also many same files on different installers, is it possible to optimize them in 7zip installer? im gonna try to make installer size smaller but if someone has knowlenge, let me know.

edit2:
by deleting not needed language files belonging to error reporting, size of the installer is getting smaller to 200kb.

You will need to find which files are needed for different languages.

By making a different "requisites" installer, one can install it regardless of the language of WLM.

Raoul: this is MSN9NL. SVCPACK compatible, no advertising, all components included.

http://rapidshare.de...MSN9NL.exe.html

to see cache folder you have to "beveiligte systembestanded tonen" and "verborgen bestanded tonen"
