Vista - Windows Live Messenger & Vista Beta 2 - Error 81000306

I've installed Windows Live Messenger v8.0.0.689.00_Branches on Windows Vista
Beta 2 v5384.

I have followed the steps to disable UAP (UAC).
Added MSNMngr, msvs, msncall to be allowed by the Windows Vista Firewall.

I cannot sign on to Windows Live Messenger. On Signing in to Vista i get
Error code 81000306.

I did a connection test and i can connect to the Windows Live Messenger
servers in Tools \ Options \ Connection \ Advanced \ TCP Test.

Here is error log :
[11:55:54.098] Zone_HotmailService CreateReducedPolicy: This is a PPM

Note : I am using same computer on XP and it signs in correctly.

Anyone any ideas ?

Hmm... I've had no problems whatsoever with Beta 2 Vista and Messenger - I'm
running the latest internal build at the moment and it's signing in
absolutely fine... I've just installed .689 again from the public site and
it's still working.

However, try this site:
http://www.imzers.com/msn/solve/error-code-81000306

If the worst comes to the worst and you really want to sign into Messenger
regardless of what client you use, try the MSN Web Messenger (soon to be
revamped).
http://webmessenger.msn.com

Really hope this helps )

I can not get any messenger client to work. it won't sign in and gives me an
error that is not in the error list. it just says signing in and comes up
with an error number that is not in any error list.

Hi there, I get exactly the same error as you Coakeyoakey. I've tried
installed both Live Messenger and the lastest version of MSN Messenger, both
come up with the same result.

I've also tried installing both after a fresh install Vista Beta 2, and
still no luck, also tried exactly what you have tried as well as disabling
Windows Firewall, and still no luck. Pretty much, everything else you've
tried, I've also tried, and it's all no go...

As for the imzers.com site, it doesn't resolve the issue either. It is
clearly a Vista and Messenger (Or Live Messenger) related issue.

I found the solution, it needs Microsoft .Net 1.1 (which is identified as
incompatible with Vista to run). I was testing and installed .Net 1.1 and
the update anyway and both Messenger 7.5 and Windows Live 8.0 beta worked
flawlessly.

HTH

Thanks mate, I'm going to try your solution *fingers crossed* haha. I'll let
you know if it does not work for me (or if it does).

Again, thanks a lot!

Hmm... It still does work. I installed both .Net Framework 1.1 and .Net
Framework 1.1 SP1 and the hotfix, still coming up with the same error. This
is driving me nuts haha

That is strange. I uninstalled .Net 1.1 and MSN Messenger failed to
start... the two little fella's just kept rotating around each other, I just
re-installed it and messenger works again.

Odd.

In the interim, use windows web messenger http://webmessenger.msn.com/ it
looks functionally the same, and should suffice until Microsoft fixes this
issue.

Maybe .Net 1.1 is only one of a number of add-ons that is required by
Messenger, and you are missing another unknown one?
