Why can't windows live messenger be installed via a proxy server?
It works just fine via a proxy server, because I have used it
previously
via a proxy. The only problem is getting it installed via the proxy.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

kind regards, Niek

I'm having the same issue. I'm behind a proxy and the WLinstaller.exe fails
to install Live messenger

Greetings,

You can download the installer manually from here:

Easy fix - the installer doesn't read from HKCU in the registry but from HKLM

Run 'proxycfg -u'

Thankyou for your help with proxy JP - all good now

Great, but unfortunately it doesn't work with automatic configuration
scripts (.pac files). proxycfg just read manualy configured proxies.
