Windows Live Messenger 8.5 Beta
Posted by kato9096 538 Day ago, There are 23 comments, 41973 views

Quickly following the few days old leak of an internal 8.5 build, Microsoft is officially releasing the beta version to the masses. No need to download it from shady locations any longer! It is exactly the same version (8.5.1235.0517).

In addition to the brand new and Aero-supporting user interface we've showed you in earlier screenshots, LiveSide reports another novelty in this version: the integration of Windows Live OneCare Family Safety which allows parental control over signing in and adding new contacts. Log into OneCare Family Safety, click "Edit Settings" and scroll to the bottom for the Allowed applications (Beta) section.

Of course, Mess Patch is in the works for brutal Windows Live Messenger 8.5 modification.

there is no windows live mail desktop beta 8.5 and there never will be.

Mail Desktop, has been replaced with the less functional Windows Live Mail (12.x)

For WLM in PT-BR:
Copy and paste msglang.dll from 8.1 repertory to 8.5 repertory.

Attention:
The new WLM directory is : C:\ Arquivos de programas \ Windows Live \ Messenger
RE:Windows Live Messenger 8.5 Beta by HighLevel on 2007-06-03 03:29:46
Translating WLM 8.5 beta in PT-BR:

1)Copy the 8.1 c:\Arquivos de Programas\MSN Messenger\msgslang.8.1.xxxx.xxxx.dll to another folder;
2)Rename-it to msgslang.8.5.1235.0517.dll;
3)Uninstall WLM 8.1 PT-BR;
3)Install WLM 8.5 beta en-us;
4)Overwrite the msgslang.8.5.1235.0517.dll on C:\Arquivos de Programas\Windows Live\Messenger
5)Install MSG Plus Live 4.22.274 (www.msgpluslive.com.br) for addons;

Worked perfect here (Windows Vista Ultimate x32).

I had this problem, and fixed it by going to

\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data
Deleting: WLInstaller and WindowsLiveInstaller folders

After that, the installer seemed to work fine.
