Same here, same sequence of events (XP SP3 here) and can't uninstall, login
etc. Time for a third-party 'cleaner'?

Greetings,

If it's rolling back then it's encountering an error with one of the components. The easiest
thing to do would be to just manually uninstall each and see which one fails.

A list of each beta component and how to uninstall each can be found here:
http://messengergeek.spaces.live.com...BDA1!868.entry

Basically I suggest you just go through the list until you find the one that fails and you
should hopefully receive the true error.

Dear Jonathan,

Thank you for this, i found another blog there on how to install the new
versions, iinstalled all of the new ones manually but had a problem with
Windows Live Photo Gallery Beta!!
i tried to uninstall it manually but i got a msg that is saying
"A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file:
C:\WINDOWS\Installer\PhotoLibrary.msi"

and when i try to update ot through Windows Essintial it gives another error
number too!!!

Hi guys
You might like to look at the thread about WLM 2009 version 14. it may give
you a second option.

Here's what I had to do in order to fix the same problem you had, Doc.

http://www.groovypost.com/howto/geek...c-failure-fix/

I believe the above link now goes to an installer that has the 'current
release' version.

1. Run the custom setup found at the ms url above;
2. Uninstall all Live apps in Add-Remove (not all will uninstall);
3. Remove all other Live apps with the Windows Install Cleanup program;
4. Run a check on your registry to remove the stuff left over, or run
ZapMessenger;
5. Reboot;
6. Run the custom setup program as in step 1, full install successful.

HTH.
