Msn setup problem?

Question

ok..here's my problem..I keep trying to install msn 7.0 and i keep getting the same damn error!! it reads: MSN Messenger setup has failed with error code: '1601'. Please go to the MSN Messenger Web site and download the software from there. Everytime i do that it still gives me the error. I can't even get MSN 7 which i had and uninstalled thinking that that was the problem. I'm so disgruntled by this situation! anyway some help would be nice thanks!

Answer 1

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.
