hey, Now this is the problem i'm encountering: i installed the Windows live installer. then i launch it. Then it asks me the items i want to download , i select sign-in assistant, messenger , etc and click install. Now when it starts to download the messenger it downloads very quickly uptill 99% and then it get's stuck on that. i even tried waitin for an hour and it didn't download that 1%. every other item get's download ( if selected before messenger) but when it comes to messenger it get's stuck onn 99%. I'm using windows xp. I've tried uninstalling the Windows Live installer and reinstalling it, i've tried upgrading through earlier version of the messenger (as it gives me the option of upgrading when i try to sign in) but that doesn't work either. Please, help me fix this problem. I am messenger-less since 3 weeks! Thanks in advance. |

Try downloading it from Jonathan's site (reliable site and download. He's a Messenger MVP). http://messenger.jonathankay.com/redir/wlm85.asp This gives you the MSI file for messenger directly rather than trying to use the installer program provided by Microsoft.
