Unable to uninstall windows live messenger from add or remove prog

I have MSN 9.0 I am currently trying to uninstall the program but it's not
showing in add and remove programs. Help.

System:xp.

It shows up as Windows Live Essentials in Add/Remove Programs on XP fo
me. Removing this allowed me reinstall 8.5 without any problems

Hi,

If you still can't find it as Daemonic suggests here, you can use my ZapMessenger utility to
possibly remove it:
