Office XP SP3 installed or did you try to install at one time. This error suggests a Office XP SP3 issue -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

Greetings,
Basically it's trying to load a component that isn't there. I reproduced something similar recently and didn't have any luck actually debugging what it was looking for using standard tools (procmon, etc.) although I did end up figuring it out. Unfortunately it won't relate to this Live Installer problem. The quickest way to install Messenger would be to just download and install Messenger directly from its MSI: http://messenger.jonathankay.com/redir/wlm85.asp -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Peter Foldes" wrote in message ... posted to the live messenger group via crosspost -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

jonathan, when i try to do what you suggest everything is ok until a message shows up which just says " your computer has a newer version of windows live messenger than the one you are trying to istall. to install an older version, first remove the current version (click start, settings, control panel, add or remove, windows live messenger), and then run this set up again" the real problem is that i don't have any kind of messenger in my pc! what's going on? i have downloaded beta the newest one but i removed it... when i try to install it again from msn.com i get the 0x8000ffff message and then the thing i just discribed you! christ, that means that i won't be able to have messenger or the entire windows live suite in my pc ever again?? that's terrible! pleaaaaaaaaase help me if you can:( -- liakos9171 |

Many thanks :) |

im totally happy to finally get rid of windows live beta from my computer. the thing had super-glued itself to my system and i spent weeks and weeks trying to remove it. thanks jonathan. but sadly, i too developed this miserable catastrophic failure error when i tried to install windows live again. the funny thing is, i was able to install beta again, but not the earlier version! why was that? anyways, i was able to thankfully thankfully install windows live messenger again from its MSI link provided above. u can say im able to breathe again! :) what i actually wanted to ask was, is it only messenger that i can download like this? i would really like to get windows live mail too. if anybody knows a way, im all ears! -- Zaaya ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zaaya's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/zaaya.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-v...il/1041352.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
