Windows Live 8.5 Installer

I tried installing the msi on my xp 64-bit machine to no avail. It throws
this error:

A network error occurred while attempting to read from
....\Install_WLMessenger.msi

Ideas??

Thanks!

Hi there Richard,I have to say I am so glad you grabbed my attention,as I was
just going to see about installing it but now I will wait until they have it
so it is easy to download and use,cause I don't need any hassles with that
stuff,as I am sure alot of other peeps don't either,so thanks for saving me a
lot of trouble Linda
