Remove all add-ons and security applications (anti-virus, firewall, etc.) that may be conflicting.

A few suggestions I found from Google...

Try right clicking WLM and selecting "Run as administrator".

1. Uninstall WLM using the WLM Installer.
2. Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301)
3. Install the cleanup utility, run it, and remove the WLM Installer Information via the cleanup utility.
4. Re-download the installer from the WLM website. (http://messenger.msn.com)
5. Re-install WLM.
