Restore Live Messenger Custom Content

The Windows Live Messenger team recently gave out a new build of Windows Live Messenger 8.1, which included a couple of fixes to the new Object Store. As Windows Live Messenger 8.1 BETA testers might have noticed, if you upgrade from version 8.1.006x to 8.1.0106 you will lose some custom content (like display pictures, custom emoticons, winks, etc.) which has been installed while using version 8.1.006x. The Messenger team does not and will not support custom content migration from version 8.1.006x to 8.1.0106, so Windows Live Messenger 8.1 BETA testers are pretty screwed on that.

Because I experienced that problem, I created a tool which migrates the custom content installed in version 8.1.006x to the proper format of version 8.1.0106. This tool does not delete any of the data already present, it only adds the missing items. To be able to restore the missing data, you need to provide the tool the Passport address and the Unique Passport ID of the account to process. The Unique Passport ID is a string of 16 characters long, including the leading zeros. You can find your Unique Passport ID on the Windows Live Account Settings page, which you can find at https://account.live.com/SettingsPage.aspx.

This tool DOES NOT migrate custom content that was added in Windows Live Messenger 8.0 and is not visible in Windows Live Messenger 8.1!
