problem installing Live Messenger Beta 8

I have Live Messenger 8 Beta and when I double-click the exe (Vista beta 2)
to install it (runs fine on XP) it asks me the necessary questions, and then
nothing happens. No process running, nothing. Any ideas?
Thanks,
David.

Make sure you're running without UAC as this has caused troubles before.

Also, make sure you aren't running any previous beta versions of WLM or have
them installed - it's never a good idea to install a beta on top of another
beta.

Why are you replying as well? It'll have nothing to do with the firewall as
it's a installer - the application will need to be configured with the
firewall, and I've just given him a link to what you've just said with the
UAC.

Now I think it's you who's trying to reply to every post for the hell of it.

I got it to install fine with UAC on. But when entering my hotmail address
for logging in it won't log in at all.

Well, AMDX2 just said its installed, in addition to that Windows Live
Messenger 8 and Windows Live Messenger 8 Phone are listed as exceptions in
the Windows Firewall, so yes, it could have something to do with it. Zack,
you only post for alternative reasons, not for genuine help and concern.

I think you should consider your motives as well - what have I got to gain
out of it? Why on Earth would I set up a dedicated knowledge base website if
I didn't care about helping people out?

No, motives here than just having a passion for the products I use everyday
at work and home. I have been participating in newsgroups since 2003, I find
the community as a wonderful opportunity to share knowledge and benefit from
it, its a win-win.

Ok guys, come on now,

Ok, seriously. Do you use the hotmail account to log into the messenger live
thing or what?
Since it would not log me in I tried to uninstall it, but it won't let me.
It just froze entirely. I ran the uninstaller and it did do something, but
then the progress bar just stopped going forward from halfway or something.
Then it just didn't do anything else anymore at all and I had to end task on
the thing.
