Cannot install Windows Live Messenger 9 or other Windows Live Applications.If you are currently using Windows Live Messenger 8.5 or an older version, and when you try to upgrade it to the Windows Live Messenger 9 Wave 3 applications from
http://download.live.com/ using the Live installer, you get an Error message at the end : '
These programs could not be installed'.
I suggest you try the following steps to redress the issue: 1)
Uninstall Messenger Plus! in case you have installed it. Uninstall the current version of your
WLM. Use
CCleaner to clear residual registry entries.
2) Try to install it again using the Live installer. If you find that your green animation bar progresses up to a certain stage and then again reverses back, it means that the installation has again failed. You may or may not get an
Error Code 0x80070643 at the end.
3) This may occur when the installers has insufficient privileges to modify a file or a folder.
4) Open
Explorer and through
Organize > Folder Options > View > Choose to
show hidden and system files & folders. 5) Next navigate to
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\IdentityCRLand
