MSN...

[Munch]

Okay so I tried hijacking Mark's thread but then it just died and no one cared...

MSN told me I needed to update in order to use MSN, so I clicked yes and then it would fail to update. I try again about 3 times but then I go and download a new version of MSN (with the update already there) and after it gets to 100% complete, it fails. I try a couple times with that, and with different mirrors but still no luck.

I came up with the idea of uninstalling MSN completely, and all features, but when I went to uninstall Windows Live Messenger I got ''fatal error'' but before that shows up, I just get this: (I used Add or Remove)

''a network error occured while attempting to read from the file c:\windows\installer\install_(508ce7754ba4-4748-82df-fe28da9f03b0).msi''

I uninstalled other MSN related features first, but that did no good.

I got CCleaner and tried with that, I got the same error but then the Windows Live Messenger thing never appeared in the list. Before getting CCleaner, I tried deleting the folder completely, not uninstalling, then tried uninstalling but I get the same error, and MSN still loads up fine (and appears in the Add or Remove list to uninstall).

I've tried everything and no luck, and ebuddy sucks arse. The main problem now is the uninstall bit, then perhaps the new version will actually install.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help
