Picking up where Shark007 left, i wrote a little tutorial to modify the original msi installer. A spanish version is also available.

This works with the latest version: 14.0.8064.0206.

You can get the direct links to download the full Windows Live Installer in different languages here.

The tutorial is in RTF format and the ZIP file includes two tables that you need to import using Orca or other authoring apps.

Update: The tutorial now includes instructions to prevent WLM from not showing an uninstall entry.

I have made switchless installers for English and Spanish, and the required components. You can use them to replace your patched files as well, you just need to extract the Messenger installer with 7-Zip or WinRAR to a folder and replace the files.

Note: If you want to use my switchless installers, make sure you install WLM9 Requisites Switchless as well. Otherwise, it won't work.

You can download them here.

Note: SVCPACK compatibility is not tested.

I cant find this .cache folder anywhere.

I installed the Dutch version on 3 diferent pc's, all dont have the .cache map (system files are not hidden).
