Help.
Having this problem for a while when MSN 6.x prompted me to upgrade to 7.0
the error dialog is
"MSN Messenger setup has failed with error code: '1601'. Please go to the
MSN Messenger Web site and download the software from there."

Windows 2000 SP4 and Windows Installer 3.1 (v2)

Anyone knows how to resolve this error?
TIA.
Kevin
