Ohh, thank you so much for this!
I have Windows 7 and firstly I had uninstalled MSN Live and then I just couldn't re-install it because the system thought it was already installed. This software cleared up the mess for the "80040154" error message for me!
PS: @grievous: if it's so urgent the need of MSN then just use some web-based MSN like meebo.com or try downgrading to something like MSN 8.5.
