O.P. Where has 8.1 gone?
Hi, i want to un-install Windows Live Messenger 8.1 BETA, but when i go to add/remove programs, it isn't on the list.
I think it has something to do with the fact i have WLM 8.0 AND 8.1 installed, but i don't see how that would interfere.
So, any idea's on where it's gone? or an alternive way to un-install it?

Erm yes you can. I think you might just have to delete the folder where you installed 8.1 on.

Yes i can, and do. I renamed the 8.0 folder to Windows Live Messenger and then 8.1 saved to MSN messenger. two different directories.

I will try that now.
EDIT: Nope, tried to delete the MSN messenger folder, and it just came up with a pop-up box :dodgy:

'Cannot delete usnsvc.exe. Access is Denied.'

:dodgy:

Correct me if I'm worng wrong but...
And the keys of the Registry? Because WLM 8.1 didn't add keys on registry?
