You will have to contact your company's IT administrator, network administrator, or whoever is in charge of the computer equipment. Policy has been set on that computer so that you can't just install any old program that you want. Especially not Live Messenger. AND, I'm sure they will be interested to learn of the "other" programs that you've installed without their permission.

Into the Windows kernel so it has to go on the C or Boot Partition.

The company has established Rules to suit themselves here and these rules cover what can be installed and what isn't allowed in the company because of Security Concerns. Instant Messaging Services are a wide open Door to Security breaches and they may be not allowed by the company for other reasons.

If you absolutely need Live Messenger you have no choice but to go to the Companies IT Department and ask them to install Live Messenger for you.

But of course depending on the Acceptable Use Policy of Computers the company may have in place something about Instant Dismissal for changing their Software loads on Company Owned Computers.
