To start with I tried to update Version 8.1 without success on XP SP2. Then I
removed both Live Messenger 8,1 and the Live Messenger Sign-In Assistant and
tried re-installing the newest (8.5) version again without success.

The error manifests itself as:
-Click on Install SW.
-Download WLInstaller
-Starting Installer, Live Window opens saying something like" Please wait
while Installer gets started"
-This window then disappears and IE7 opens up to home.live.com

And that is all. SW is not updated or re-installed. As I have de-installed
V8.1 I can no longer communicate. What can I try now?

Thanks for any ideas
