Installing ANY MSN or Live Messenger on Ultimate Vista x64

Hello... Can anyone help me installing ANY MSN or Live Messenger on Ultimate Vista x64?
I've downloaded them all, and when I try to run them, on the end of the installation, a pop-up says that the program is meant for 32-bit systems.
Please, help. I'm desperate, really.

How silly of me... When I read the forums and tried your solution, I thought it didn't work because the installation never warned me that it was over, or asked me to choose the location, etc. lol

Thank you so much.

Hi,

This is exactly the same file that is run by the normal Windows Live Setup, so that's why
there is no notification when it's complete as the setup application does that part.
