| | Windows Live Messenger and Windows Installer popups Recently, I've been facing a little problem with Windows Live Messenger 9.0 beta version. Everytime I launch WLM, the Windows Installer window will popup and show a progress bar running (meaning it's running something, I guess). Even though WLM will run as usual after that, I don't find this normal as I don't face this problem with WLM 9.0 beta version before reformatting. A check in the Application logs of Event Viewer shows the following: Event Type: Warning Event Source: MsiInstaller Event Category: None Event ID: 1004 Date: 5/26/2008 Time: 9:47:06 PM User: WONG\Wong Family Computer: WONG Description: Detection of product '{F1E17FB0-12BC-45D0-ABA3-287F2A1E3A1E}', feature 'MsgrFeat', component '{7CBC9E83-5D64-4EB3-847B-E628ADDA3D1E}' failed. The resource 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MessengerService\InstallationDirectory' does not exist. In fact, I get a couple of the same error message shown above. I kept wondering why, but by taking a look at the description, I think this may have something to do with the Windows Messenger or the Messenger Service. Before installing WLM 9.0, I have indeed uninstalled Windows Messenger using the command, "RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove" (without the qoutes), and also disabled the Messenger service in "Services.msc" under the Administrative Tools. In addition, a check in the registry (according to the Event log above) shows the following: - [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MessengerService] @="Windows Messenger" "InstallationDirectory"="C:\\Program Files\\Messenger\\" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MessengerService\Clients] @="" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MessengerService\Clients\MSN Messenger] "MessengerGuid"="5C4C8078-24CF-4c71-B05E-8B1D935DB5AC" "MessengerPrivateGuid"="762DAFB9-15BD-4b41-B919-F3D5023D1E78" "MsgrSessionManagerGuid"="A3E84F97-4A68-4e42-9976-DA8DF946B571" "isDotNetProvider"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MessengerService\SessionManager] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MessengerService\SessionManager\Apps] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MessengerService\SessionManager\Apps\{1DF57D09-637A-4ca5-91B9-2C3EDAAF62FE}] "Name"="Whiteboard" "Path"="\"C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\rtcshare.exe\"" "URL"="http://www.microsoft.com" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MessengerService\SessionManager\Apps\{56b994a7-380f-410b-9985-c809d78c1bdc}] "Name"="Remote Assistance" "URL"="http://www.microsoft.com" "Path"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\rcImLby.exe" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MessengerService\SessionManager\Apps\{F1B1920C-6A3C-4ce7-B18C-AFAB305FD03D}] "Name"="Application Sharing" "Path"="\"C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\rtcshare.exe\"" "URL"="http://www.microsoft.com" So, I think this may have something to do with Windows Messenger. Anyway, can you offer any help to solve this problem? |
