RE: Popup new version cant get tid of it
I'm having exactly the same problem as Diane, can't update & can't get on windows Live. I've tried everything that's been suggested, disabled zone alarm etc. I did notice the path where the problem exists apparently, was C:\WINDOWS\Installer\Messenger.msi, when I tried to find that path in explorer, it didn't exist! (all hidden & system files are visible) I even installed some upate to system files from microsoft site, but that didn't help either. (sorry can't remember its name, was a week ago)
This is driving me crazy! Further to that file path... I looked again & there were two folders, MSN Messenger 8.1.0178 and MSN Messenger 8.0......
Anyway I went to control panel & deleted messenger 8.0 from the windows programs in Add/Remove programs, then I deleted that MSN messenger 8.0 folder.
Thing is I have Windows Live 2009 (v 14 something), so not sure if the other folder is applicable either.
In any case I still couldn't update.
I have XP by the way.
