If you do not want Messenger Plus! for WLM, you can uninstall it from your list of programs (after you see that Plus! for Skype already appears).
Seriously though, you give users a choice of what crapware they want to install but don't let them choose what *actual software* they want to install; then you then disable the cancel/close buttons so they can't stop it when they realise it's installing both; and finally you have to manually uninstall the one you didn't even want in the first place?
What's wrong with having 2 separate installers? Or failing that, a unified installer that lets you select which product you want to install, like Windows Live Essentials (and numerous other software suites) have done for years...
Edit: And now you've even taken away the option of choice of crapware. Way to go Yuna.
