Back to Messenger 2009 with direct installation without update request

Let's take a trip back in time back at the elderly and lively chat client Windows Live Messenger 2009.
Even if what we formerly called MSN Messenger, now is a bit 'less used because of the invasion, Facebook is still the major instant-messaging network in the world.
All the fans and users of this program, instant messaging and chat will definitely updated to the latest version, Windows Live Messenger 2011 that, of course, also integrates Facebook chat and a lot of additional features.

But those who just want to chat with friends on Messenger, without Facebook and other functions without unnecessary and believes that the new version of Windows Live Messenger is too heavy, it can go back to using the old and lighter version of Messenger 2009 .
In addition, the new version, Messenger 2011, does not work on Windows XP.

Whatever the reason, which could lead to prefer a return to lighter and basic Windows Live Messenger 2009, in this article we see how to install it without receiving any obligation to update requests .

First you need to uninstall Windows Live Messenger 2011 (if already installed) by going to Control Panel> Programs and Features and uninstall Windows Live Essentials 2011 by selecting from the list.
If you use Messenger Plus, remove that too.

The biggest hurdle now is to find a link to download the full installation files from the old version of Windows Live Messenger.
Specifically you need to download the file wlsetup-all.exe reported to the version Windows Live Messenger 2009 build 14.0.8089.726 .
This is a single installation file of about 135MB in size.
There is no need to search and download the installation files for individual packages as Messenger.msi, crt.msi, Contacts.msi, and SegoeFont.msi wlc.msi.
download the English version the following link:
http://wl.dlservice.microsoft.com/download/E/3/E/E3EEC6D6-1141-40C4-840F-770F99B67986/en/wlsetup-all.exe

Once installed the old Windows Live Messenger 2009, should see an error with a popup that warns you about " A new version available. You should install the latest version to continue. "
If you do not update and therefore do not download the Messenger 2011, we can not continue.
Click Yes, the update part, but clicking on the No stops the program.

Although other specialized forums I found several procedures that must replace the files in the folder of the program, you long before using a tool called " Link Messenger Reviver ".
This small instrument is used to reactivate the links on older versions but also works to circumvent the blockade of the update required .
After downloading, close the Messenger, press Start on the Messenger window Link Reviver, apply the patch and restart Messenger 2009 that this time it should open normally.
