If you have problems installing a new version you can
completely remove the old version by following these
steps;

[1] Go to Add/Remove Programs and remove MSN Messenger
[2] Go to C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger and delete the
entire folder, also go into the task manager and stop all
procceses for msn messenger, or it won't let you delete
the folder.
[3] Start up Registry editor by going to Start Menu ->
Run->Typing in regedit and hitting OK
Navigate to the
HKEY_CURRENT_USERS\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger key
and delete the entire MSNMessenger Key

I had the same type of situation, but a little different
and it worked.
