Erm , I am having a problem with installing msn live messenger. I get the error :
There was a problem with this installation. Windows live suite was not installed.
System error details Code: 0x800736b1
Description: This application has failed because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
I have tried to reinstall it several times but it doesn't work.

Can anyone help?

Some others are also having the same problem.

Have a read here and here.

Try this:

• Download and Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86 - For 32 Bit Systems).
  
• See if the error is still reproduced.  If so, post here and i'll try and find something else.

A lot of people seem to say the Redistributable package mentioned above solved their problem.
