Download the installer of your choice, I choose the Indian version msgr9in.exe.
http://messenger.yahoo.com

Windows XP:
http://messenger.yahoo.com/win/

Windows Vista:
http://messenger.yahoo.com/vista/

Now start TcpView (Tcpview.exe) to find the process that downloads the package from Yahoo's server. Start msgr9*.exe select the appropriate options and ones the installation starts you will notice a process named GLBE.tmp connected to a Yahoo server. Now launch Process Monitor (Procmon.exe), press Ctrl+L to open Process Monitor Filter window select Process Name from the drop down list and type GLBE.tmp in the third column, click on Add and then Apply, now press Ctrl+A to start or stop Auto scroll and Ctrl+E to capture. This way you will find a log file SUITELOG.TXT in the folowing path,

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp.
