As you can see from
the screenshot you provided yourself, it doesn't say "Windows Live Messenger", but it says "Messenger Plus!".
It is very important to get things correct when asking for support, otherwise people can't give you proper support and things might not be understood correctly as you can see from the previous replies.
As for your actual problem: The error messages says to reinstall Messenger Plus! since there was an error removing it. So try to do that.
But first, remove everything you have installed later trying to fix this: Remove Messenger Plus!
Live if you have that installed (check the 'add/remove programs' panel)...
After that:
1) Reboot your computer
2) Clear your browser cache. Instructions can be found here:

3) Disable your virus scanner and/or other protection software which might prevent programs from installing.
4) Redownload Messenger Plus!
3 (from
here) to make sure you have a proper non-corrupted installer
5) Run the installer and install Messenger Plus! 3.
6) After that, uninstall it again by going to the 'add/Remove programs' panel
7) Reboot your computer
8) Report back here if this has worked or not.
