Hi, i want to un-install Windows Live Messenger 8.1 BETA, but when i go to add/remove programs, it isn't on the list.
I think it has something to do with the fact i have WLM 8.0 AND 8.1 installed, but i don't see how that would interfere.
So, any idea's on where it's gone? or an alternive way to un-install it?

well.. u cant have both 8.1 and 8.0 installed so that is not the problem

Erm yes you can. I think you might just have to delete the folder where you installed 8.1 on.

Yes i can, and do. I renamed the 8.0 folder to Windows Live Messenger and then 8.1 saved to MSN messenger. two different directories.

I will try that now.
EDIT: Nope, tried to delete the MSN messenger folder, and it just came up with a pop-up box

'Cannot delete usnsvc.exe. Access is Denied.'

Correct me if I'm worng wrong but...
And the keys of the Registry? Because WLM 8.1 didn't add keys on registry?

skillz, run the installer again it will give you the option to uninstall.

Edit: you're welcome

Ahh yes, that worked. thanks Sunshine!!!
