he system does not meet the minimum system requirements for Windows Live® manager
You need to confirm that the system meets the basic requirements for installation. If the requirements are not met, the system would not be able to install Windows Live® messenger. The system requirements can be checked online. Check the hard disk space left on the system, to do that right click on the ‘C:’ drive and check on ‘Properties’. If the hard disk space is limited then you need to opt for a disk clean up which will increase the hard disk space. Afterwards try to install Windows Live® messenger confirming other specifications.
Do not have administrative rights
Installation would not be complete if the user does not have administrative rights. In order to check on the system whether you have the administrative rights right click on ‘My Computer’ and go to ‘Manage’. Under the ‘Computer Management’ tab, click on local users and groups, groups, administrators. Right click on it and check whether the user profile reflects in the list. If your name does not appear in the list, it means you do not have administrative rights. If it appears then you can go ahead with the installation or if you have the administrative password. You can log in as administrator to install Windows Live® messenger.
At times the earlier versions of the programs are already present on the system and the users unknowingly install the Windows Live® messenger. To check whether you have the Windows Live® manager or not, click on ‘Start’ and in the search box type in “control appwiz.cpl”. The programs and features icon would come up. Remove the application entry and try installing the Windows Live® messenger.
If the required file for installation is already in use by another application the installation would not go forward. To check on all the installation files are not in use remove the earlier version of Windows Live® messenger installed on the computer. To remove it open the ‘start’ search box and type in “control appwiz.cpl”. Then, remove the Windows Live® messenger.
