Was pulling my hair out for a week trying to figure this out. The only thing that work was Final Uninstaller.
www.finaluninstaller.com. It does cost $27.95 but worth it. No other unistaller program i tried found the Window Live 'remnents' that this one did.

I've downloaded a later version of IM and everthing is now working great.

Hi there is a very simple way to uninstall this file.

If you download this file i have scanned it to make sure there is no viruses it is clear.
http://www.download.com/...
once you have done that install it this software is free and needs no registration or codes.

Then simply find it and click uninstall.

Once you have got past this i suggest that you uninstall this software from your add or remove programms in control pannel any more help needed please feel free to emal me

Go to -> my computer - > control penal -> add/remove program -> find windows live assential -> click it -> uninstall the programs which you dont want or all of them : mail, writing, messager, family safety live, etc -> after uninstall it, DONE.

I still can not believe Microsoft publish such crab sofewear to consumers. Now I like google's products. They are more reliable and you can trust it, no more headache.

Yes, this works (without having to use the 'run' box).

Click Start > click control panel > click > Programs and features > look for 'Windows live essentials' right click> select 'change/uninstall' and a window will pop up giving you to choice to uninstall live messenger.

Hello.

Have you search after Windows Live Essentials in Remove or Add program ?
If you don't find it there, you can use ZapMessenger from Microsoft to remove damaged uninstall or install.

Lol...hahaha same with me huh?? u know what first i did it like u lol, i didn't uninstall, i just removed it lol...and then i install all the UNISTALLER LOL..but same " windows life safety " not appears in the list XD well..so i unistall all UNISTALLER . then now what i got in my pc it's just "HANDY UNISTALLER " AND " CC CLEANER " well...idk what to do so i looks again in the google how to do..then i found this


I installed Windows Live Family Safety, later i wanted to uninstall it. But unfortunately there was no uninstall option (Neither with the application nor in the add or remove programs). I had a search, and found that somebody had issues even after the uninstall using CCleaner.

1. Go to Start Menu => Run

2. Type “services.msc” (with out quotes)

3. click ok (or press enter)

4. Find the service

5. Double click on that

6. Change start type to disabled

7. Click Stop if that is activated

8. Click OK


so i Follow that...and everytime i turn on my pc it's say i can't browser internet coz i disable my family safety " BUT NOT IT'S NOT!! U STILL CAN USE UR INTERNET " :)

and then i use it like a month, and then today when i check my control panel i saw my family safety on the list " YAY!!!!!! i want to removed it...but its not working lol...so i check in HANDY UNISTALLER it's not there..and i check in CCLEANER..YESSS!! IT'S THERE...so i UNISTALL MY FAMILY SAFETY :D YAY!!! :) hope its help u :)

Okay people i have had the same problem that you all have been having "how do i remove messenger beta"?

To get rid of eg Windows Live Beta 9 you will not be able to do this via add remove programs on Xp ect.

"When you 1st installed messenger 9 you had to click on that insalation engine an let it run to ya pc, to rid of beta you still need that installer engine that was on your desktop understand.


You Have to.....

1. find it.

2. If you deleted it get it of the site you downloaded it on last!

3. That launch engine is on you desktop right click on it as if you wanted options for it, an in the drop list menu you should find unistall an it will get rid of messenger beata!!!!

Hope that helped you

I do agree that Beta softwares have very limited support and can even corrupt your system. But little did I ever imagine that Microsoft would ship out a Beta release of Windows Live Messenger without an Uninstaller!! Yes - the latest Windows Live Messenger 2009 Beta comes without an UnInstaller.

For some strange reason, after installing the Windows Live Messenger 2009 Beta - I was getting an error called 8000ffff - I tried many solutions posted online but in vain. Finally, I felt my Messenger 8.1 was much better and there my hunt for the uninstaller began. I searched high and low but in vain.

Finally, I found an easy method to Uninstall Windows Live Messenger 2009 Beta. Goto Start > Run and type the following command and press enter - this starts the uninstaller.

msiexec /x {B1403D7D-C725-4858-AACC-7E5FA2D72859}

How funny?

Btw, for the other Live Beta softwares - here are the codes to uninstall.

To UnInstall Windows Live Mail Beta Easily
msiexec /x {DFD6935E-D94A-4DBE-AD8F-E37CBC6B577F}

To UnInstall Windows Live Toolbar Beta Easily
msiexec /x {5524A0D4-F826-4961-9B53-EFF6C615251B}

To UnInstall Windows Live Writer Beta Easily

Hey sweetie, i have a solution for your problem, why don't you call me to... haha just kidding go to this page: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/en-us and there is a downloadable program there (windows clean up), download the program, install it, then run it (it should be on the start menu programs). A window is going to appear with a list, look for 'windows live messenger' and select REMOVE. After that, install another version of live messenger that it is not 2009 beta (altrough theres a beta version that does work) and you should be able to sign in

thanks saimum, worked for me (xp 64) but my problem wasn't the beta, it was 14.0.8050.1202, and it wouldn't let me update to the newest version 14.0.8064.206
so for anyone with my specs try the Windows Install Cleanup, found at the windows support website as mentioned by saimum, it was fast and easy.
So thanks again!

This works on Visa as I did it myself but I dont know if it works with XP - this uninstalls the 2009 beta version of MSN and then tells you how to install the 2008 version.

1. Exit Windows Live Messenger.

2. Click Start, type appwiz.cpl in the Search bar, and then press ENTER.

3. On the Add or Remove Programs window, click on Windows Live Beta or Windows Live Essentials, and then click Uninstall/Change

4. Select Uninstall, click Continue.

5. Under Select the programs you want to uninstall, tick the checkbox on all programs (Messenger, Mail, Photo Gallery, Toolbar, Writer), click Continue.



Here are the steps to download old version of Windows Live Messenger version 2009:



1. Start Microsoft Internet Explorer and then visit: http://www.microsoft.com/...

2. Click Download button.

3. Follow the Messenger installation wizard to completely install Windows Live Messenger.

Hey, everyone that wants to delete this shitty messenger, its pretty simple! Just go to Control Panel -> Add or Remove Progams-> Find "Windows Live Essentials" -> Click Change/Remove -> and there you go from there :)

Lan, on Feb 7, 2009 11:27:30 pm GMT

Your answers work for me: My computer -> program files -> windows life -> installer -> click again -> uninstall

Also the quick way to me is: control penal -> add/remove program -> window live essential -> click it, uninstall which one you dont like, I uninstalled family safety live ---- DONE

Thanks every one!

To remove windows live messenger, you just look for "windows live essentials" in the "add or remove programs" section of control panel, and the uninstall option comes.. you can uninstall messenger separately without uninstalling the other mail functions if u like. easy as that.. you just dont see the uninstall messenger option until you click on windows live essentials. This is normal with mnicrosoft that they think "because we know where we put it, everybody does"!!
Microsoft are a bunch of idiots as we all know - if you wish to see a graphic walkthrough of how to remove this program go to below website

Had the same problem, though with the full release, not tthe beta, tried everything I could think of. I then realised that I had only installed Messenger. I went to http://download.live.com/?sku=messenger and installed a couple of other Live apps. After I did that, the uninstall page came up and I was able to uninstall the lot and install Messenger 8.1!
Hope this helps.
