ok this is the problem when ever i start windows messenger i get a windows saying installing windows messenger 5.1 or when im in msn 7 and someone invites someone else it pops up and when i try to do handwriting if i click cancel is says cancelling  then it repeats and tries to install again. when i let it install this pops up how to i make it finish installing? 
MSN Messenger 7.0.0632
and im supposed to have 5.1 windows messenger

try this..
downgrade msn to 6.2 than get messenger 5.1 from the official ms site:

and try upgrading back to u'r current beta version after that. it happened to me too and this solution worked

The install screen should only pop up the first time you use Windows Messenger..let it finish and log in once, that oughta solve it. Also make sure that when it installs that the account has adminpriviledges and that nothing else is preventing it from installing (AdWatch, SG etc.).

i uninstalleed MSN 7 and still when i install windows messenger i get a warning and it doesnt install

Sounds like you have software running that prevents installing. Either that or the account you are installing on doesn't have writeaccess.

well i shoudnt i am the only one who uses this computer and i didnt install anythign to block installing and i can install MSN 7 no problem

i found some information here... slightly related to your problem:

i have very little knowledge of this stuff so this information may be wrong..

Try clicking Start, then Run, and running this: 
 
msiexec /x {C3A6819F-62D3-4750-AF1C-28206DDF2C2E} 
 
then click OK. 

Edit: i hope it works out for u though
