O.P. Huh?  Can't install Windows Live Messenger
Hi guys,
I'm in deep need for farther assistance in this windows live removal issue.
My System is as follows
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
There is enough disk space.
The most wrong that I did is that I've uninstalled Windows live messenger.
So I can't install it again if i did it says it's already installed and if i installed older version it says u have newer one.
I keep having errors even I have uninstall it many times using 3rd party programs like "your uninstaller" "perfect uninstaller".
and i used "Zap Messenger" it  took more than an hour in vain.
It still says "it's already installed".

So, can U help in this case.

Which version of Windows Live Messenger did you have installed that you were trying to remove?

Try using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove any Windows Live Messenger entries, it worked for me when I last had problems of this nature.

RE: Can't install Windows Live Messenger
Try using the same version as you previously had installed and it should let you do it

Please don't send private messages asking for help, keep it in the thread so that the whole community can try to help you.  Also, please don't post consecutive messages without anyone else having posted as this is double posting and is against the forum rules
