RE: msn 7 error code
Turn off all programs that might prevent software from installing (AdWatch,  Antivirus etc.) and try again.

Also when downloading: don't use a downloadmanager.

A downloadmanager is a program that speeds up downloads (often also gives you the possibility to resume the download if you get disconnected..good for pictures, but it often messes up exe files).

Try installing on an account with adminpriviledges and do that in safemode to be sure no other program wich can prevent software from installing is running (continuously hit F8 on startup).

Have you installed the official BETA from MSN Messenger website? If not, reinstall it from there, If so, try reinstalling, serval people had same problem after a MSN Messenger upgrade, not being able to connect.

This could be the issue, also hwhat Windows are you using?
because to install msn 7 on windows 98 you need to upgrade your internet explorer to the 6 series.

He did mention it comes from the official site.

What I suggest you to do is to check everything mentioned on this thread, then if you still have problem installing,m you can uses WebMessenger, the offcial web based msn messenger if you want,

here's the adress : http://webmessenger.msn.com

Hope I helped

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately though, since trying to download msn 7, I have uninstalled msn 6.2, which has left me with neither. Then the next day, I tried to upgrade my Windows Messenger, and that concluded in another error, and left me with no Windows Messenger :P. Apparently, a lot of other ppl who have tried the same thing as me, have had the same happened to them. Now I'm using web messenger and I'll probably go to Yahoo until I can get this sorted.

I have Windows XP

RE: msn 7 error code
Steps to fix the problems:
1. Do a windowsupdate.
2. Install Java (MSN 7 seems to need this).
3. Reboot.
4. Download and install Windows messenger 5.1
(make sure there are no programs running wich prevent software from installing).
5. Remove all folders pointing towards MSN Messenger (MSN Messenger folder in programfiles folder).
6. Redownload MSN Messenger 7 beta or MSN 6.2 and install on account with adminpriviledges, after that install on useraccount if need be (make sure there are no programs running wich prevent software from installing).

I hope this helps.

RE: msn 7 error code
Maybe there is more wrong than just MSN Messenger not wanting to install. I advice to do windowsupdate, an ad/spyware scan and a virusscan. A seperate virusscanner you can run besides your regular AV program is Avert Stinger.

Can't really say what it is, it might be serverside (your Yahoo problem). Can you post the exact errormessage?
