Hi,
First of all I would like to express my dissapoitment regarding the way the
new version "was pushed" to us users. I would like to be able to decide if I
WANT OR NOT A NEW VERSION.
Second its not working. Its a cr... I do not know the reason because I've
checked my firewall and other probrams and everything looks fine. Its just
that I can not finish the instalation of this new version its stoping just
before completion.
I need the messanger urgently What can I do . I can use my old version
either because it won't let me open and its asking me to dowlond this ne
version.
I need your advise.
Please help me.
Thank you.
C.M.

Hello,

what is the exact error message given?
In the meantime, try WebMessenger: http://webmessenger.msn.com .

Greetings,
P. Di Stolfo

yeah i had this problem aswell, it hangs when theres like 3 bars left, i even
left it for like 3 hours to see if it would unhang magically...i didnt. so
anyway now i have like..a half installed version which is basically junk
data, tried all the stuff like uninstalling windows messenger, clearing temp
files, cleaning blah blah blah, firewall ect --> no effect...microsoft really
needs to solve this problem =/ (btw the repair feature in the messenger does
nothing)

Hi,

Sorry for my later response to your help.
I have now Windos Life Messanger working. I do not know what made it work.
The only thing what was different from the previous times when I've tried to
dowload it was that I upgrade the yahoo messanger, too In desperation because
as i said I need "the messanger". Which strang,e After I did that I was able
to uploade the windows one, too.

I know its not much of a help for you, but just to let you know That I fixed
my problem and that I hope you all succed with yours.

Bye and thank you for (all) your sugestions
Cornelia

This fix worked for me:

Another thing you can try is the following. Click Start, then Run. Type:
msiexec /unreg and press enter. When this is done repeat it but now fill in
msiexec /regserver.
