Vista - unable to uninstall Window Live Messenger(latest version)

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help. I am using Window Vista. I am unable to uninstall Window Live Messenger (latest version). I go to control panel, under program, I saw those with window live xxx and i remove it but i cant uninstall/change window live essentials and i cant find the Window Live Messenger there. I exit the icon that appear at the bottom of the screen. I even remove it from the program. But after i restart the PC, Window Live Messenger appears again. Anyone able to help? Thanks in advance.

I am having the same problem however I have removed the windows essential from the add/remove programs. And i tried doing that run code in previous threads and I get the message that it isn't installed in my computer. However, when I try installing windows live it says that messenger is already installed can someone please help me.

Look here and give those procedures a try - Cant uninstall live mesenger, I tried everything.

I had the same problem with Windows Live Messenger 2009. First when I told it not to Start with Windows it would continue to Start. Then I couldn't find how to uninstall it. Online I found that if you select run and copy and paste the following it will uninstall, this worked on my Vista 64bit version: msiexec /x {0AAA9C97-74D4-47CE-B089-0B147EF3553C}

I have tried to do it from the program remove list, the run code that the guy previously mentioned, and manually going into Crogram files and deleting it there as well.

None have worked.. I try redownloading the installer hoping i can reinstall messengers however in the installer it says messenger is already installed. this is what i need help fixing i need to get rid of whatever program files are still there can someone help me?

Hi,

I am able to uninstall msn...

1) go to msn.com to install one of the application, eg MSN toolbar (as i have previously deleted the rest of the application starting with window live xxx so i have to install 1 of the function back)

2) Go to control panel >> program >> select window live essential

3) right click and choose uninstall/change

4) follow the steps and you will be able to remove window live messenger
