Greetings Alan,

To correct this, click Start,then Run, and type the following:
msiexec /x {1F0BD960-6525-4FEE-B577-2473F77F1277}
then click OK.

Then, after uninstallation, reinstall Windows Messenger 5 from:

I installed Messenger 5.0 a few days ago. Recently, when i try to open it,
the install menu appears and the program tries to install. It errors out
with a registry error then closes. I also get the same install window now
when I try and load Adobe Acrobat.

Any ideas?

Alan
