RE: MSN will not open
I'm not going to be servicing these threads anymore, because I've exhausted all of my knowledge on the subject and it appears that we're going to have to be patient with Microsoft or suffer through an older more Vista compatible version of Messeng... | BandAid3030 | Skype & Live Messenger | 03-08-2011 at 05:15 AM |
RE: MSN will not open
I would love to tell you that I've found a way to fix this, but I can't seem to find the correction required. It appears that those affected are almost exclusively using Windows Vista, and Live Messenger 11 is built for Windows 7. Try installing an... | BandAid3030 | Skype & Live Messenger | 03-07-2011 at 04:40 PM |
RE: MSN will not open
If you're not an administrator on your computer, then none of the solutions presented will work. Run everything as an administrator and it should work. | BandAid3030 | Skype & Live Messenger | 12-01-2010 at 01:21 AM |
RE: MSN will not open
Just copy the file in your MSN folder and then paste it to your desktop. | BandAid3030 | Skype & Live Messenger | 11-30-2010 at 11:59 AM |
RE: MSN will not open
The only other solution that I can suggest is for you to try and edit your manifest with Resource Tuner: 1.) A simple Google search will yield Resource Tuner, and, after installing, the msnmsgr.exe file is opened with Resource Tuner. 2.) The manifes... | BandAid3030 | Skype & Live Messenger | 11-30-2010 at 11:39 AM |
RE: MSN will not open
Try repeating the steps, but do not reinstall the 2008 Redistributables. 1. Uninstall all the visual programs (2008 and 2005) and visual ++C 2. Uninstall Windows Live Essential Beta (everything in it) 3. Re-boot 4. Reinstalled Windows Live Messenger ... | BandAid3030 | Skype & Live Messenger | 11-30-2010 at 02:04 AM |

RE: MSN will not open
Just read the entire thread. On the first page there are detailed explanations of how to go about solving this, including how to uninstall your C++ Redistributables. | BandAid3030 | Skype & Live Messenger | 11-25-2010 at 09:58 PM |

It was my pleasure, JKatz. If you need more help, I'm more than willing. Cheers. -BA | BandAid3030 | Skype & Live Messenger | 11-24-2010 at 04:59 PM |
RE: MSN will not open
Hi, Mathguy. **To start with, I should make it clear that I'm not a developed or programmer. I have a smattering of introductory C++, but for all intents and purposes I'm applying my elementary knowledge of Microsoft's SxS in trying to solve these... | BandAid3030 | Skype & Live Messenger | 11-24-2010 at 04:55 PM |
RE: MSN will not open
Hi, fresh00. Those redistributables are required for any program that was created using them. The problem here was most likely that something updated one of the manifests or DLLs in the winsxs folder, resulting in the side by side error received. Th... | BandAid3030 | Skype & Live Messenger | 11-24-2010 at 02:43 AM |
RE: MSN will not open
Freakystely, have you tried the fix above? If so, what Visual Basic C++ Redistributables do you have? Here's my suggestion (this has worked for another user on these forums): 1.) Uninstall ALL of your Microsoft Visual Basic C++ Redistributables. 2.)... | BandAid3030 | Skype & Live Messenger | 11-22-2010 at 09:00 PM |
RE: Side By Side Error - WLM 11
Good news! | BandAid3030 | Skype & Live Messenger | 11-22-2010 at 08:55 PM |
RE: Side By Side Error - WLM 11
Try eliminating all of the Redistributables (2005, 2008, and 2010) and the entire Windows Live Essentials suite before restarting and reinstalling WLM, VC++ 2008 and then VC++ 2008 (SP1). That's the only suggestion I can give you if none of the othe... | BandAid3030 | Skype & Live Messenger | 11-22-2010 at 03:26 AM |
RE: Side By Side Error - WLM 11
What order did you uninstall and reinstall in? Uninstall the Redistributables and then Windows Live Essentials, then reinstall the 2008 Redistributable first and then the 2008 Redistributable service pack. If that's the order that you took, then I'... | BandAid3030 | Skype & Live Messenger | 11-22-2010 at 01:03 AM |
RE: MSN will not open
Freakystely, you need to provide more information than simply error 78. Despite the misleading error message of Side by Side, your event 78 is different from event 33. Specifically, what conflict are you seeing in the Event Viewer? Have you tried uni... | BandAid3030 | Skype & Live Messenger | 11-21-2010 at 10:52 PM |
RE: Side By Side Error - WLM 11
Have you deleted and then reinstalled MSN and the Microsoft VC++ 2008 redistributables? Cheers. -BA | BandAid3030 | Skype & Live Messenger | 11-21-2010 at 10:37 PM |
RE: MSN will not open
Excellent to hear! Microsoft hasn't provided nearly enough support for this problem, and the problem is almost certainly on their end. Every user that I know of who has encountered this has had no idea how to fix it and Microsoft has provided littl... | BandAid3030 | Skype & Live Messenger | 11-20-2010 at 11:17 PM |
RE: MSN will not open
Hi, Jenny. It appears that you don't have the Visual C++ Redistributable required for MSN, but that may not be your fault, and it may not even be true. **I assume that you're using [b]Vista 32[/b] bit because you didn't supply me with an OS and y... | BandAid3030 | Skype & Live Messenger | 11-20-2010 at 09:30 PM |
RE: Side By Side Error - WLM 11
It's too bad that you were not at the point where you originally began. I had the exact problem that you did and fixed it by simply editing the manifest for MSN with Resource Tuner with the following sequence: 1.) A simple Google search will yield R... | BandAid3030 | Skype & Live Messenger | 11-19-2010 at 11:45 PM |
RE: MSN will not open
We need to know what OS you're using. If you're looking for diagnostic help, more information is better. Here's a step by step diagnostic approach for Vista and W7: 1.) Click on Start Menu. 2.)
