Repairing or re-installing Windows Messenger 5 gives error message.

After installing Windows Messenger 5, I noticed that when
visiting any url that was a .PDF, the installation
procedure for Windows Messenger 5 would start up (and IE
would hang while trying to load Adobe Acrobat).

So I tried reinstalling Acrobat; no change.

I next tried repairing Windows Messenger 5. It wouldn't
complete the procedure, instead, giving me the following
message:

An error occured during the installation of assembly
component
{874793FC-5F43-496A-8FE7-18C40B9B143D}, HRESULT:-214702864.

Any idea what's causing this, and what I can do to fix it?

Many thanks,
Josh Mandel
