Nvm, sorted. Gotta love the fact that MSN Messenger developers disabled the use of 8.5 and downwards, but there is still a way how to use them!
Go to C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger
Right click msnmsgr.exe, select Compatibility and then select Compatibility mode as Windows 2000.
For those who try to install 8.5 and are stuck on 99%, download the alternative installer here: http://www.woot-is-awesome.info/~markkit.../wlm85.msi
