below solution is for you if you have experienced any of these problems

  1. if you are trying to upgrade your Live Messenger but ran into this problem "hr:ox80070643"
  2. if you are trying to install Live Messenger but stupid windows doesn't give you the option install
  3. if you have successfully installed Live Messenger but cannot log on (sorry i forgot the error code), and that you should uninstall Live Messenger then reinstall again, but stupid windows doesn't let you reinstall
