Can you show us a screenshot of the exact error message you got?

Because as far as I know, "Messenger Plus! Live" (this is the correct name) does not have such a message like "following file requires windows live messenger or msn messenger 8.0 to be installed please wait while we find the rite one".

Be absolutely sure you always download from the official site: http://www.msgpluslive.net/

ah I see...

Thank you for telling why it gave that error (many people just say "it's ok it's fix now" without telling what the problem actually was).

Though, the error message you told us, doesn't exist. That is, there is a similar error message but it is still quite different and it is shown in a message box and only after you press "ok" a new version will be downloaded. So, in short: always give the error message as exact as possible (a screenshot if possible).

As for the message box dissapearing: What happened when you left it like that? Was a new version downloaded (version 3, compatible with MSN Messenger) and was its setup executed? Or did nothing happen at all? This is actually a bit important as it should have downloaded Plus!3 and executed its setup; if not, then there is some error...
