Windows Live Device Manager Install Failing

Greetings!

Every time I sign into WLM I get a pop up asking me to install Windows Live
Device Manager

So I attempt to as it is quite annoying having this pop up EVERY time I log
in or connect a new device (doesn't seem to matter what, even things that are
completely unrelated e.g. I just plugged in my GPS unit and it popped up...)

The file WLDMWWEN.msi gets downloaded, which I then open. The setup opens
but immediately I get this error message:

"A compatible version of Windows Live Messenger is required. Please install
the latest version of Messenger."

This is on fresh version of the latest version of WLM straight from the
Windows Live site. I've tried reinstalling WLM multiple times with no result.

Is there a file left over from WLM 8.5 (which I just upgraded from) that I
need to delete to convince the setup that I really am running WLM 9.0?

Thanks!
