Greetings x,

This is unfortunately an issue with the Windows Installer. 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 Windows Messenger 5.0 or MSN Messenger 6.0 (not sure which version you're referring to)
and then click 'Remove'. Click 'OK' to the warning message that comes up. Also, you may
need to recreate some Messenger shortcuts (you'll find Windows Messenger in \Program
Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe and MSN Messenger in \Program Files in \Program Files\MSN
Messenger\msnmsgr.exe).
