MSN Messenger windows update agent 5.8.02469

[One off poster]

Hi there, I am trying to upgrade to the latest version of Windows Live
Messenger.

It says I have to install "windows update agent 5.8.02469" and tries to
download it. It goes off in a loop saying my version of IE isn't up to date
(it's the latest) and says I can't download "windows update agent 5.8.02469".

I suspect this is as it's a work laptop and has a windows update blocker
installed as my company does it's own packaged patch management.

How do I upgrade Windows Live Messenger in this case?

Thanks

Do yourself a favor, don't fight the work admin's settings. Ask them for
legit help. If you hack the Messenger in you are going to hit some of the
security settings. Messenger updates can be downloaded for install by your
admin.

I have checked various locations, and I have the same error problems, have
control of the settings, but can't seem to find where to get this update?
