Error 1601

[Mikey769]

I'm getting an error message when I try to install MSN Messenger 7.5. It's #
1601. Anyone have anything on this error message? I can't find it in the
FAQ's pages.

Thanks,
Mike

Try re-installing the Microsoft Installer program.

Greetings Mike,

This indicates that the Windows Installer is damaged.

To correct this, click Start, then Run, and type the following:
%systemroot%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver
then click OK.

Then try again.

This did not work. I used to have MSN Messenger 7.5, but I tried to install
IE 7 Beta 2, and ran into an error stating that it could not find
rssfeed.dll, then it stopped the installation. For some reason, I lose MSN
Messenger. I now only have Windows Messenger 4.5. Why did this happen?
Others had the same problem as me, but noone has responded so I can rectify
that problem of IE 7 beta 2. Another thing is that I can't get IncrediMail
to work now. If it can't find a file, it should install it. Sheesh.
