Hi Steve,

Glad I could be helpful. There is actually a Windows Live Installer log which should say
what's failing, although it's far easier just to install the things yourself and see.

And nope, the order doesn't matter. You can install them in any order, Messenger.msi first
if you like. I know throughout testing these things over and over that I've installed them
in all sorts of different combinations.
