Error code: 0x8000ffff - Installing Windows Live Messenger


Hi,

I am having problem installing Windows Live Messenger and i just
wondered if anybody could help. Whenever i try to install Windows
Messenger and error message appears sayin:

"There is a problem with this installation. Windows Live Suite was not
installed.
System error details
Code: 0x8000ffff
Description: Catastrophic failure"

I dont understand what this message means, or how im meant to repair
it. Can anybody help. Thank you.
