WLM 8.5 won't install

I installed the Windows Live Suite, and after seeing that most of
the suite members didn't meet my needs, I uninstalled those that
most offended me. Among them was WLMessenger 2009. When I tried
to reinstall 8.5 (version 2008), I get an error that says that
the suite hadn't been installed and then the 8.5 installer quits.
I tried the same with version 8.0 and got the same results. How
can I circumvent this error and get the program I like to install
for me? Thanks to any of you out there who can help me with this
problem!

Re: WLM 8.5 won't install

Greetings LuDean,

Try installing directly from the Microsoft Installer (MSI) file by downloading and running
the following:

If there's an actual problem with the Messenger part of the setup, it will tell you,
otherwise you'll find it under the Windows Live folder in the start menu.
