Help again please!

[Guest]

Hello, there was a roblem was found recently, there is no Window Installer
Patch Package when I tried to remove MSN Messenger off the computer.But it
has error message is 1635, but cant find that error message? Can I install
that program (Windows Installer) from the internet?

The guy on other message gave me the links for errors (You will find a topic
"A problem is Missing (I think)"). Unforunately, I cant find those things
when I tried to find it to remove it. But while I am at it, I havent been
installing Plus! I may add, I do find this strange when I am trying to find
it... Is there other way to do that?

The error message appeared to say "This patch package could not be opened.
Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact
application vendor that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package."

So I have asked my friends to help, but they havent been replied, this
discussion is a only place I can go at the moment.

Thank you.

Patching

An application that has been installed using the Microsoft® Windows®
Installer can be upgraded by reinstalling an updated installation package
(.msi file), or by applying a Windows Installer patch (an .msp file) to the
application.

You might try downloading and installing the appropriate update to MSN Mess,
and then reboot; then try the uninstall again.
Download the update here:

Otherwise, do a Restore to before Mess was installed, if possible.
