So I have been trying to kick windows live beta off my computer for some time since for some reason I cant uninstall it, but every time I did what you recommended, once completed everything still remains there. I tried going into my program files to delete it manually and it says I need permission to perform this action, but the thing is I always give it permission, and I am the only user on this computer. What do I do? I give it the permission but then the message pops up again saying I need to provide permission once more but this time there is no button to give permission, just simply a retry button which does nothing
I am a user of windows messenger and have recently got a vuirus on it that keeps pop ups coming up to me and all my contacts when i sign in , i would like to kno if i can uninstall my windows messenger and then reinstall it and will be able to keep all my messenger contacts , but with the virus eliminated or removed ?
latest version of windows live messenger 11
Insert Windows CD and select install optional windows componets. Click om windows messenger, click on next to remove. after it has been removed create a new briefcase on deskestop. Move the entire messanger folder to the briefcase. The little begger does not apper on my system any more.
Ive tried everything an though there appear not to be any track of windows live, i cant reinstall it or install an older version, ive tried with register editors, the lines to put in the run program but nothing works, will i be forced to format my pc for this?
I tried to uninstall Live bit by bit and by the time I found this help it would not work so I downloaded (!!)the lot all over again and went to uninstall windows live essentials and it worked perfectly cheersk!!

I have problem. I dont have Windows Live Essentials.. I cant delete it..But still it says that i have messenger and i cant delete it too.. Coz i cant found live in my computer. I hate live messenger..
Thank you so much Leo! All morning, I used every method in an attempt to remove live messenger. Luckily, finally, I found your site and was able to remove Live Messenger using the above method. Microsoft certainly makes this task almost impossible to discover without some help! Thank you so much!
I cant find the window live essential at add/remove there too. Neither can i reinstall it as it keeps say i have the latest version in my computer. How come??? How to fix this???My computer freeze so often once i use the new window live messenger. How come so many problem still force us to get the latest one? I am happy to use older version if can.
Looks like its a forced upgrade now, but i got around it. Im using windows xp and version 8.1 of windows/msn messenger. It wouldnt log in and wanted to force me to upgrade. I got around that by running it in windows 2000 compatibility mode.
thanks for the suggestions. Windows Live Essentials is not listed. Neither did Reevo uninstaller discover WLM on my laptop.Then i came across a blog which gave a command and a reader provider more info on where one can find the product id that needs to go with the command.each component in Windows live Essential has its own little code.For e.g., for Windows Live Messenger,Start > Run,msiexec /x B1403D7D-C725-4858-AACC-7E5FA2D72859Where can u get your code?Either visit the guy who gave the solution, -to-easily-uninstall-windows-live.htmlTo find your own product ID follow these instructions (mentioned in the comments on the above blog),open regeditclicked on HKLM (LOCAL MACHINE)clicked on softwareclicked on microsoftclicked on windows liveclicked on messengerthis is where u need to copy the code of MSI of ur productit would be like thisA85FD55B-891B-4314-97A5-EA96C0BD80B5copy this and come at run comandpaste this it with this comandmsiexec /x A85FD55B-891B-4314-97A5-EA96C0BD80B5
I am having issues with my windows live essentials. I went to Window live help, i did all that it instructed me to do. But it will not remove it self, where or what can I do now? I have no messenger available to use. I went to run and installed appwiz.cpl and enter too.
Hi,I have tried to uninstall windows messenger following your instructions in respect of Windows Live Essentials, but I do not seem to be able to get it to work. Is there some variant associated with Windoes 7. At the moment, Windows 7 is not allowing even the pop up list when I click on uninstall. Any suggestions?regardsneil
I am sorry but this does not help me in any way cause windows live folder is still in the start menu programs with windows live call and windows live messanger. I want this prog off my machine but ic annot find it in the control panel. Any ideas?

HiI know this thread is old, but wanted to let you know that the free version of revo Uninstaller did get rid of windows live essentials.I have win XP pro, and the uninstall command did not work for this from the add/remove programs or from the command line in a dos window.Thanks for the tip.
i used advanced system care to remove windowslive essentials and it left messenger there..I hate windows they always put lots of crap in that you never wanted that slows down your pc .Messenger automatically fights to start up when i use hotmail even. I am a manual guy and dont like machines making decisions for me
i tried revo uninstaller (free) it was ok and worked good but still only shows the programs in my program mananger. I cant seem to remove versions still present. It does not list all files. I still cannot find all messenger and windows live files. 2ff7e9595c
