Windows Live/Messenger cannot install

Had problems with my system so had to reinstall windows xp. Come the time to
reinstall windows live messenger I got messages saying the webpage could not
be found or check internet connection. Found an installer from another
torrent but the following error message comes up:

Error: OnCatalogResult: 0x810400b

I recently installed internet explorer 7 and service pack 3 if that helps.

Greetings Ding,

You can manually install these things from the following link, but I suspect you'll have
connectivity problems even if you get it installed:

Just out of curiosity though, what happens if you use the built-in "Windows Messenger" client
in Windows XP -- does that work?
