I had this same problem but when I try to uninstall it still says that I
cannot uninstall a program that is not installed so obviously, I don't have
it installed. Still, it says that there is a problem with messenger[2].msi?
Syas something about a network resource being unavailable, it asks for me to
type in alternate path for the installation package. If I use the suggested
Temporary internet files it says it cannot be found. I'm using XP home. I
need help thanks
