Once 8.5 is installed, go to the directory (C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger) and change the name of the Messenger folder to Messenger 8.5 (or something)

and then install WLM 2009 and it should install it in the default directory, leaving Messenger 8.5 still accessibly from its re-named folder
Extremely risky, as when he does this, loads and loads of Messenger 8.5's features break down. Moreover, StuffPlug 3.0 and MessengerDiscovery 1.x (don't remember the version number...) are designed to launch on Messenger start, for all they know is that Messenger is located in C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\, not C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger 8.5\, so unless there's some registry tweak or some Resource Hacking involved, then this attempt is probably going to fail.
