Where has 8.1 gone? by Oxy on 11-02-2006 at 09:07 PM
Hi, i want to un-install Windows Live Messenger 8.1 BETA, but when i go to add/remove programs, it isn't on the list.
I think it has something to do with the fact i have WLM 8.0 AND 8.1 installed, but i don't see how that would interfere.
So, any idea's on where it's gone? or an alternive way to un-install it?

Yes i can, and do. I renamed the 8.0 folder to Windows Live Messenger and then 8.1 saved to MSN messenger. two different directories.

EDIT: Nope, tried to delete the MSN messenger folder, and it just came up with a pop-up box
'Cannot delete usnsvc.exe. Access is Denied.'

Correct me if I'm
And the keys of the Registry? Because WLM 8.1 didn't add keys on registry?
