Well thats not the right way to do it
quote:
0. Ignore what's on LiveSide, deleting files is never a good idea.
1. Remove all new Live setup-based products, if you managed to get any installed.
2. Attempt installation of Live setup-based product (i.e. Messenger)
3. Navigate to C:\ProgramData\WLInstaller
(replacing C with your root drive letter)
4. Locate/open latest log file.
5. Search for "entering maintenance mode". If you find something similar to the following, you're affected, otherwise stop.
SI (s) (9C:DC) [23:01:39:620]: Product registered: entering maintenance mode
6. Beginning at the top of the file again, search for "Original package ==>".
7. Take note of the package, including its full path, after the ==>.
(example: C:\Windows\Installer\28cc0b.msi)
8. Close the log file, click Start, Run and issue the following command:
msiexec /x <path>
(example: msiexec /x C:\Windows\Installer\28cc0b.msi)
9. Acknowledge any prompts and the Windows Live installer (from any previous build) will be uninstalled properly. No reboot required.
10. Dance around!
