--- Comment #5 from Jaime Rave jaimerave@gmail.com 2011-12-22 21:17:10 CST --- This bug is fixed on wine-1.3.35-147-gb433f1c, Live Messenger now starts but it finds a problem and it shows a message that it has to be closed, so that's a new problem.
I have tested using Windows live messenger for XP http://explore.live.com/windows-live-essentials-xp
I have Also used winetricks ie7
