Windows messenger will not un-install.
I have removed windows messenger as per SP1 and used Mr
Kays removal resource but to no avail. I still keep getting two messages stating that windows messenger has not been installed properly and it then attempts to re-install it. I do not want windows messenger as I use another messenger program. Why is windows still a pile of %%%%?? When will Mr Gates get it right? This is a classic case of the product purchased not meeting the required standard. As such I believe I have a case under the sale of goods act. |

Greetings TD,
Are you a MSN Explorer user? If so, it may cause Windows Messenger to "come back" -- instead, use Internet Explorer. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "TD" wrote in message ...

Hi TD,
It sounds like you've installed Windows Messenger 5 then, firstly, click Start, then Run, type (or copy/paste) the following: msiexec.exe /x {ABEB838C-A1A7-4C5D-B7E1-8B4314B10138} and then click OK. Assuming you do have Windows Messenger 5 uninstalled, this should remove it completely for you. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "T D" wrote in message ...
