Here's some more info for those of you having problems Uninstalling Windows Messenger 9 Beta wave 3. You apparently need to uninstall ALL of the Live beta components before you can re-install version 8.5 again.

I was getting the "catastrophic failure" failure error even after uninstalling version 9. I then ALSO uninstalled Live Movie Maker and photo gallery betas which automatically uninstalled some additional MSFT components. Only then would running the the 8.5 installer work.
