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 |

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 |

You should post that issue in the Windows Live Messenger newsgroup:

The Subject line of this thread specifically includes the words "Windows
Live messenger", so that is why I referred you to that newsgroup. Just saying "Windows Live" is not very definitive. That group name covers a whole suite of different programs, see http://get.live.com . Each of those programs has its own support group. If you meant Windows Live Mail, its support group is http://www.microsoft.com/communities...mail .desktop -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "SteveB" wrote in message ... Gary, Why.

omg I cannot believe i figured this one out. I have searched everywhere for the mysterious Catastrophic Error 0x8000ffff and as you said Jonathan basically its trying to load a componant that is no longer available, however i tried installing messenger as you suggested but got the 'A more recent version of Windows live exists blah blah blah' I then stumbled upon this tool the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;290301 You can use the utility to remove installation information for programs that were installed by using Windows Installer. Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over. Worked Great i removed the info that Windows Installer assumed was there and was able to proceed with my installation with no Catastrophic failure. There's 3 hours of my life i won't get back but hopefully this will help someone else.

I just had the same problem. I have found a solution. I had the windows live beta installed on my pc but then crashed when it forced me to install an update version which corrupted the installation files. I tryed to manually uninstall windows live beta from control panel and then tryed to install the normal windows live messenger on http://messenger.msn.co.uk but then was receiving the same error code. I then go to control panel and then saw Windows Live Programs (beta) i select that but then does not recconize i got any windows live messenger installed. So i try to install windows live beta again. It worked. but then as for having problems with it i didnt like it, i go to that same program on the controll panel and un selected everything that was install to un install. It removed all the windows live beta features it had on my pc and tryed once again to install the normal windows live messenger and it work with no error code and is now working fine :D Hope this works for you too like it did to me Christian -- christian105 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ christian105's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/christian105.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-v...il/1041352.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
