Would have

Are these both correct:

1-I would have liked you to meet him yesterday. But today I think you better not meet.
2-I would have liked you to have met him yesterday. But today I think you better not meet.

Does "yesterday" modify "would have liked" or "to meet/to have met"?

Gratefully,
Navi.
