WINHTTP.DLL

Whenever I try to download MSN messenger for my children an error message
appears, after an attempt to install 'live installer' , stating WINHTTP.DLL
was not found and the reinstalling it might solve the problem....I can't seem
to find it so I would very much appreciate a little guidance

this file has to exist in the /windows/system32 folder (on a winxp sp2
OS) Do you have any Service Pack Installed?

You or your children can post your queries to this Windows Live
Messenger-specific newsgroup: microsoft.public.windows.live.messenger

Hi there,

sounds like winhttp.dll is missing.
Try putting the file back in the system folder, you can doenload it here:

Be so kind to let us know if that solved your problem? Other users here
might benfit it.

Best regards,
