problem installing msn live messenger by zaelyel on 03-16-2008 at 12:55 AM
Erm , I am having a problem with installing msn live messenger. I get the error :
There was a problem with this installation. Windows live suite was not installed.
System error details Code: 0x800736b1
Description: This application has failed because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
I have tried to reinstall it several times but it doesn't work.
Can anyone help?

Try this:
- Download and Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86 - For 32 Bit Systems).
- See if the error is still reproduced. If so, post here and i'll try and find something else.
A lot of people seem to say the Redistributable package mentioned above solved their problem.
