Posted by: leeanne at February 8, 2009 6:06 AMSo I have been trying to kick windows live beta off my computer for some time since for some reason I cant uninstall it, but every time I did what you recommended, once completed everything still remains there. I tried going into my program files to delete it manually and it says I need permission to perform this action, but the thing is I always give it permission, and I am the only user on this computer. What do I do? I give it the permission but then the message pops up again saying I need to provide permission once more but this time there is no button to give permission, just simply a retry button which does nothing

Posted by: jagdeo at February 9, 2009 11:31 PMIf anyone's curious, apparently Windows Live Essentials is (going to be) something like a (limited) package manager for Windows 7 -- it's been mentioned in the Windows 7 presentations I've watched. From the article, I take it it's also being back-ported to XP and Vista, which makes sense to me.
Their idea seems to be simply "let's not bundle all this stuff in the base OS, instead people can download the parts they want using Live Essentials".
Posted by: Octav at February 10, 2009 8:55 AMWindows Live Essentials is not in my Add/Remove list but Windows Live Messenger was (I've removed it OK saving 32MB)

Possibly to get it totally off you need "windows installer cleanup" utility, you can read about it and get it at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301 The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility is provided "as is" to help resolve installation problems for programs that use Microsoft Windows Installer.
