Greetings -
Solution for you or anyone who has or is currently having Messenger installation issues. The forum link below solved the following error:
-------
"Network error occurred while attempting to read from the file:
C:\\WINDOWS/Installer/Messenger.msi
Please close all other open programs, and then try again. It looks like another program is preventing the installer from working. hr.0x80070643"
-------
If you have this message, and you haven't found a solution yet, then this will do the trick. Although it's an older post, it works just fine for the current 14.0.8117.416 Messenger update issue:

Scroll about halfway down the page. Look for Microsoft Customer Support (Joan, Technical Support, Live Essentials):
Note: For the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, I downloaded from this link (you'll want the latest version wherever you get it - 2.5.0.1):
http://www.softpedia.com/progDownloa...oad-18442.html
**This utility works for XP/Vista/Windows 7.
After all the time I spent looking for a solution, this took 10 minutes to solve. I hope it works for you as well. Please pass along. Thanks. Deb
