1603 fix for winxp pro/6.1
Hello freinds,
I have winxp pro, and I was trying to install messenger 6.1.
I had the following error messages as shown here

I tried all the solutions offered in this thread and none worked.
So I just said what the hell and went and downloaded msn messenger 5 from here
http://g.msn.com/7MEEN_US/EN/NT4/SETUPNT.EXE
and then tried to upgrade the program. It didnt do that either.
After installation of 5 and unable to upgrade, i went and tried to install 6.1 on its own, and voila. It worked. I have no idea why it worked.
Please note that i had first unzipped the 6.1 download executable w/ winzip before running the msi, as sombody else in this thread had said to do.
Any ways good luck!
