PS: Should the second link be spelled "http://messenger ..."?
I've done a full blog entry on this, including a quick utility to do the compatibility mode for you, which you can find here:

The reason why it wasn't showing is because you went to the properties for the shortcut, not the executable.
Yeah, slight typo there. Here's the full listing of what you'll need to install for Server 2003 (it's solution 2 on the blog):
Windows Live Messenger
Windows Live Communications Platform
Microsoft Visual Studio Runtime
Microsoft Application Error Reporting (32-bit) or
Microsoft Application Error Reporting (64-bit)
Segoe UI Font (for prettyness)
