AshTheGamer Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Hi guys seem to be having a rather weird problem with my Computer. I done a system restore as I got an error on something (System restore went fine).I then went to install msn and apparently it is already installed. It is not in program files or in All programs nor is it in Add and remove programs. Can anyone help me?- Ash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 You will find messenger 4.7 in 'Messenger' folder in XP...'Windows Live' will hold the files from the newest messenger program, and it will also hold the installer for all Live products..Windows Live Essentials in the Add/Remove Programs will be the installer you need to execute for the program...

AshTheGamer Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Nope Windows Live Installer still says I have messenger installed and I can't reinstall it until I removed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Yeah shredding/deleting all related files to Windows Live, removing the Installer using Windows Installer Cleanup ( from Microsoft ) and cleaning your registry with a typical registry scanner should do the trick like what is mentioned above..Then downloading the most recent installer and going through the whole thing again .. for install..I had this happen once but it was because I deleted a program folder... on accident..I was using a shredder that would shred the target of a shortcut if you tried the shred the shortcut itself.. this was back when it was all new stuff..

That's what I done but how can I fix it :/ Maybe you could give me your msn and we could go on Team Viewer. ( I am not to confident in deleting things in my registry. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
