Windows Messenger 5.1 problem

Hi,

I now have no use for the MSN Add-in function of WM 4.7, so I decided to
upgrade to the newest version (5.1). It appeared to install successfully, but
when I opened the application, it gives me this error:

"C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe

This application has failed to start because the application configuration
is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

I tried reinstalling, repairing, rebooting but that didn't solve the
problem. Are there any other ways that can fix this problem? Thanks in
advance. B)

no se que ha pasado con el Windows Messenger pero me lo han cambiado y ahora
no puedo iniciar sesion porque me sale un mensaje de que mi computadora tiene
una direccion IP incorrecta. Todo estaba bien hasta ayer y no he hecho ningun
cambio. Ademas la configuracion personal que yo le habia puesto no aparece
nada.

Hi Stephen,

I have the same issue. I am using Windows XP SP2. I am unable to startup
the Windows Messenger 5.1, I get the same error. The Windows Messenger 5.1
does not show up on Add/Remove program list. When I try to install the only
option I get is to repair...the installation completes...but when I try to
startup I get the same error "This application has failed to start because
the application configuration
is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

Someone please provide us some direction! Thank You
