Don't have the Windows Platform Update for Windows Vista in Windows Update.

I tried to download the new Windows Live Messenger Beta, but it tells me I need to download this update of the platform before I can install the Messenger. I looked at the support page for the update of the platform and he said I can get it from windows update, but when I bring up windows update and search for new updates, it says that my computer is up to date. What could be the problem?
I have Windows Vista x 64 Home Premium and I downloaded Service Pack 2 from windows update.
If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it, thanks.

QED: KB971644 "platform update" for Windows Live Essentials Wave 4 Beta or is there another? Looks like that same Windows Live Support does not know with certainty:

CF. tried to install the new beta version of messenger, get a note telling me to get the latest update of Windows Platform (where support tells OP to ask for help in the Windows Update forum!)

CF. platform Windows Update - can't see it!

Search Windows Live Help forums on "update of the platform" also allow to get this thread (4 pages & culture) as a possibility: http://windowslivehelp.com/thread.aspx?threadid=f3145fce-81b1-405e-a40d-048245542d63
