MSN wont install

Hello

I am looking at a friends PC it has Windows Vista 32 Bit OS.

It has had Windows live messenger on it and it stopped working it was removed and for the add and remove tool.

We have tried to reinstall it but it keeps on saying that it has already been installed.

So we have gone into My computer and have removed the folder it self but it was tell me that it was installed.

It has also been removed for the registry but it is still say that it is installed.

We have removed and anything that has to do with windows live messenger on this PC and it still say that there is windows live messenger on the PC.

Any ideas..

Thanks

Greetings,

ZapMessenger should help out with this:

After you've zapped it, you can install Messenger as you wish.
