Installation "ROLLING BACK"

I have been trying to install update of Windows Live, starting with "Windows
Live Essentials" on an XP. The installation proceeds fine until it tells me
it is 100% complete, then without warning (and without my touching anything)
it immediately "rolls back" the entire installation counting backward from
100% to 0%.
After this, a message appears stating "Programs were not installed because
the installation was canceled. aborted: 0x80004004"
However, my Windows Mail has completely disappeared. The older version (12)
is no longer there. WL Messenger, Photo Callaery and Writer are still
installed.
I have tried to reinstall Windows Live Essentials several times, with the
same result each time.
Help!
Erich.

Re: Installation "ROLLING BACK"

look in your list of installed updates, and uninstall anything referencing windows live. then, either run windows update, or download from the windows live website.
