Installation of MSN Messenger 5.0 ?!

[Invest]

Every time I want to launch MSN Messenger 5.0 I get the little windows with
in th emiddle a installation progress bar (like it is installing it again).
After a few seconds it's gone and Messenger is working fine.
What I've tried so far is to uninstall Messenger / reboot / re-install
Messenger ... but still the same problem.

Anybody could help me?

Thanks in advance!

Greetings Invest,

This is the Windows Installer detecting that something has been changed.

You can use the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility to fix this.

First, download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/office2000pro/util20/1/NT4/EN-US/msicuu.exe

Run and install the program after you've downloaded it. After the setup is complete, click
Start, then Programs (All Programs if you're using XP), then Windows Install Clean Up.

Click MSN Messenger 5.0 and then click 'Remove'. Click 'OK' to the warning message that
comes up.

After this is complete, run MSN Messenger 5 again -- you may need to create a new shortcut
from the \Program Files\MSN Messenger folder.

If you get some type of error, you may need to install MSN Messenger 5 again:
