You'll need to simulate the regitry entries of WLM for Plus! to detect it properly, like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Live\Messenger

Awesome just what I needed. :) thanks.

The installer for live says messenger says it won't install cause it's not "xp".

in wine options, you can specify what OS you want wine to appear as.

I tried that. My guess is the installer checks things other then os version to see if it's xp or higher.

try installing Orca in wine, it will let you modify .msi files. Extract the msi, open it in orca, go to LaunchCondition table, and delete all the entries.
