RE: Problem with Messenger Plus Live
Funny how nobody asked which OS is being used....
Generally this problem is because of not enough admin rights to install software, by programs that prevent writing in the registry (AdWatch, anti virus/spyware programs etc.) or SmileyCentral/SweetIm etc.
Please make sure you uninstalled Smileycentral and SweetIM correctly, else you may have a leftover dll in the messenger folder. To make sure there isn't uninstall Windows Live Messenger and delete still existing Messenger folder(s) ("C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger" and "C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger") before reinstalling.
On Vista I advise you to install on an account with admin rights, or rightclick the installation file and "run as administrator." If you happen to know you have programs running that prevent writing in the registry, disable them whilst installing (enable again afterwards).
If you are on Windows XP, reboot into safemode (continuously hit F8 on reboot) and install on the account called Administrator. If you do it this way you are sure there is no "unnecessary" program running.
