Can't install Messenger

Hi!

I've just bought a new Toshiba laptop. It's a Vista Home Premium, 64 bit operating system. I've tried a couple of times already, and I still can't seem to install messenger. In the Windows Live Installer box, after a couple of minutes of it checking my system, it always turns up as:

Not installed Messenger
Not installed Sign-in Assistant

Please help me!

Re: Can't install Messenger

Greetings,

Try from the below link (which is the direct installer). Besides working far better than the
Live Installer, it should give you an actual error if something goes wrong.

Umm..
This is suspicious.
Try and download from a differnet website, other than the main WLM Site.
