Recently, I've been facing a little problem with Windows Live Messenger 9.0
beta version. Everytime I launch WLM, the Windows Installer window will popup
and show a progress bar running (meaning it's running something, I guess).
Even though WLM will run as usual after that, I don't find this normal as I
don't face this problem with WLM 9.0 beta version before reformatting.
A check in the Application logs of Event Viewer shows the following:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: MsiInstaller
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1004
Date: 5/26/2008
Time: 9:47:06 PM
User: WONG\Wong Family
Computer: WONG
Description:
Detection of product '{F1E17FB0-12BC-45D0-ABA3-287F2A1E3A1E}', feature
'MsgrFeat', component '{7CBC9E83-5D64-4EB3-847B-E628ADDA3D1E}' failed. The
resource
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MessengerSe rvice\InstallationDirectory' does not exist.
In fact, I get a couple of the same error message shown above. I kept
wondering why, but by taking a look at the description, I think this may have
something to do with the Windows Messenger or the Messenger Service. Before
installing WLM 9.0, I have indeed uninstalled Windows Messenger using the
command, "RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection
%windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove" (without the qoutes), and also disabled
the Messenger service in "Services.msc" under the Administrative Tools.
In addition, a check in the registry (according to the Event log above)
shows the following: -
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MessengerSer vice]
@="Windows Messenger"
"InstallationDirectory"="C:\\Program Files\\Messenger\\"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MessengerSer vice\Clients]

So, I think this may have something to do with Windows Messenger. Anyway,
can you offer any help to solve this problem?
