Can't install Windows Live Messenger by Hany on 09-03-2010 at 12:17 PM

Hi guys,
I'm in deep need for farther assistance in this windows live removal issue.
My System is as follows
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
There is enough disk space.
The most wrong that I did is that I've uninstalled Windows live messenger.
So I can't install it again if i did it says it's already installed and if i installed older version it says u have newer one.
I keep having errors even I have uninstall it many times using 3rd party programs like "your uninstaller" "perfect uninstaller".
and i used "Zap Messenger" it  took more than an hour in vain.
It still says "it's already installed".

So, can U help in this case.

How did you try uninstalling it?  What was the first method you tried?

but it seems that there is still some files that are not removed

Try using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove any Windows Live Messenger entries, it worked for me when I last had problems of this nature.

Try using the same version as you previously had installed and it should let you do it
