No it shouldn't annoy you if you download it from the link Menthix provided above.
If it does, just use it in XP Computability mode.
Bad advice I'm afraid.
Using compatibility mode may cripple stuff in Messenger and chances are high it will even cripple the compatibility with Messenger Plus!.
Messenger will never bother you to update if you use the latest build of a version.

Thank you but the problem is the installer provided installs additional things which i do not choose, for example Windows Live Call. By using Messenger.msi and Contacts.msi you avoid all that extra that i am not asked to install and personally do not need. I will give it a try when i switch to Win 7 and see how that goes. Thanks.
Messenger does use Windows Live Call... If you untick everything in the installer except for Messenger it will only install the components it needs. And mind you, eventhough you think you don't use something doesn't mean Messenger doesn't need it to run though!
You shouldn't extract stuff from the installer manually unless you know exactly what you're doing.
