Hi!

I'm sorry to hear the automatic update isn't working for you. As an
alternative, you can manually download Mac Messenger 7.0.1 from the
official
site here:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/messenger/default.mspx

The download instructions from that site follow:
To install this update

   1. Print this page if you want to use it as a reference when you are
offline.
   2. Quit any applications that are running, including all Office
applications, Microsoft Messenger, and Office Notifications, because they
might interfere with installation.
   3. Make sure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements.
   4. Click Download, or click the link for the language version that you
want.
   5. Follow the instructions on the screen to save the file to your hard
disk. If you are using Safari, the downloaded file is saved to the desktop
unless you specified a different location in the Preferences dialog box of
Safari. To check your preferences, on the Safari menu, click Preferences,
and then click General.
   6. If the file you downloaded does not expand automatically, on your
hard
disk, double-click the file that you downloaded in step 5.
   7. Drag the Microsoft Messenger icon to the Applications folder on your
hard disk.
   8. After the application has been copied to your hard disk, you can
drag
the Microsoft Messenger volume to the Trash, and then drag the file that
you
downloaded to the Trash.
   9. Double-click the Microsoft Messenger application that you copied to
your hard disk to start the setup program, and then follow the
instructions
on the screen.

Let me know if this works for you :)
