Vista - Live Messenger download stops at 99%

Hi Everyone, it is so nice to belong to this forum, thank you. I tried to install windows live messenger and windows hotmail onto my friends pc. She has Vista home premium 32 bit with a dial-up connection. First I got her a Windows Live ID account and that went through just fine. Then I proceded to download Hotmail and live messenger. The windows `sign in assistant`downloaded and installed just fine but the other two sit at 99% and will not go any further. Can anyone tell me what I should do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings,

You're not the first to see this problem. Instead, download and run the Microsoft Installer
file directly (it's the same thing the setup downloads and executes for you):
