Whoo hooo!! the msiexe worked Great!! it found the install and uninstalled the bad msn and let me install the one I want! Thanks. Lenn Dolling
omg i deleted the WLM from program files.
and when i tried wat everyone said worked:
msiexec /x {0AAA9C97-74D4-47CE-B089-0B147EF3553C}
they said something like "make sure u have this program and can access it"
T___T i need msn.
i finally managed to load it..
but in the end it said :
the application has failed to start because its side-to-side config in incorrect. please see the application event log for more details.
help? T__T
after that i clicked:
msiexec /x {0AAA9C97-74D4-47CE-B089-0B147EF3553C}
again..
it said that its only valid for installed programs.
but my msn is still in program files..
I have the same problem. I have an older version of messenger on my computer. when I install windows live it won't let install the messenger since I already have it. Tried to uninstall windows live and reinstall it and I get the same message all the time. My computer was defragmented yesterday so it should be working fine.

Posted by: Test User at July 19, 2009 4:42 PMIf (like me) you can find it in the add/remove programs section but there's no button to remove it showing try the following - it worked for me. Click START, then RUN and in the box copy the following msiexec /x {0AAA9C97-74D4-47CE-B089-0B147EF3553C} and then press return.
