Windows Live Messenger Uninstaller

If anything goes wrong during the usual uninstall process of Windows Live Messenger (by accessing the 'Add/Remove' section in the Control Panel), there might be leftover files that are not deleted properly. New errors might occur when trying to re-install it. For instance, the setup might notify you that Windows Live Messenger is already installed, while the program is not even listed in the 'Add/Remove' section.

If you experience such symptoms, Windows Live Messenger Uninstaller could come in handy. As its name implies, it provides you with an efficient method for permanently removing a broken Windows Live Messenger installation from your system.

The application uses the Windows Installer component (msiexec) in order to delete the broken installation. The main interface is simple, only comprising the uninstall command box and a button for initiating the command.

Windows Live Messenger Uninstaller scans your computer for available broken installations and automatically detects the corresponding CLSID key, a registry component that uniquely identifies the installation version and other similar details.

You can use the generated uninstall command to manually remove Windows Live Messenger from the system by deleting the corresponding registry entries. However, only advanced users should try to perform this operation, since modifying or removing registry keys might result in application or even system failures.

Windows Live Messenger Uninstaller can speed up this process significantly and help beginners deal with this issue, since you only have to press the 'Run' button for the removal process to begin.

All things considered, Windows Live Messenger Uninstaller is definitely worth trying in case you failed to remove Windows Live Messenger properly from your computer and the software does not appear in the Control Panel anymore.
