I am having the same problem using windows XP Pro, I first get the message ... the folder path "My Pictures" contains an invalid character, then I get the message ... MSN Messenger setup has failed with the error code '1603'. I can't change, repair, install or uninstall messenger, and because of the mandatory security update, i can't even use the version on here. Is the same as you are getting???

I have the msn error 1603 problem, and I've tried all of your posted solutions, but NONE of the work. I Currently have the oldest msn version, whichever one that was aready programmed into my computer. I used to have msn 6, and then even got msn 7, but my dad thought it was slowing down the computer or something, so he deleted it. He somehow managed to do something (by mistkae) so that i cannot fully uninstall msn 7 (and then install msn 6), so i can't get into my msn 7 to talk to ppl, OR uninstall it.
When i go to the msn website to re-install msn 6, it won't allow me saying
"Your computer has a newer version of msn it is trying to install. To install an older version, first remove the newer version." Then it just says where to uninstall it (control panel), and ive tried it many times, it doesnt work.
MSN Error Code 1603 then pops up, but like i said nothing i do has fixed it so far.
Please help if you can, i reAlly need it. Email me and/or write it in this forum if you have anything to help. ( Sorry about the long post)


Love ya,
