I cannot update windows live messenger. Every time the installer gets to 100%
complete everything starts to roll back but I have uninstalled the previous
version that worked fine and when it rolls back it goes to nothing since
nothing is there. Please help.

I will figure part of it out

Try the fix below. Read the follow up by me if you cannot find the folder. It worked for me. ~BJ bjs-spot.blogspot.com

I had that problem, this was on vista64. Eventually, I found a logfile
in C:\Users\Coop\AppData\Local\Temp called MSI7f661.log (random
filename, just look for the newest file after running the install).

The logfile will tell you where to look exactly, but MSN creates a
hidden .cache directory. To see it from explorer, you'll have to make
system and hidden files visible by altering the view settings of the
folder options applet. In my case, the directory was "C:\Program Files
(x86)\Common Files\Windows Live\.cache", so I guess on 32 bit vista it
would be "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Windows Live\.cache"

In that folder, messenger and the other live programs keep a cache of
the downloaded files. One of those must have been corrupt and re-used
at every install. So I just deleted the .cache dirctory and
reinstalled. It worked fine then.
