hi.. I had the 1603 problem for a while untill I found this website.. I have windows XP and this is the solution that helped me..

1. Click on Start -> Find -> Files or Folders
2. Search for sfc.dll. It should be under c:\windows\system32\.
3. Rename sfc.dll to sfc.dll.x
4. You should be able to do the installs now.
5. After you have installed the software, change sfc.dll.x back to
sfc.dll.
6. Done!

So Thanx !!

Do you have anti spyware/adaware running while trying to install?

i have noticed MSN are going yahoo!'s route of an active x style installer.

Have you tried the stand alone exe file?

my firned had same problem and had to close everything from firewall to antivirus down till they installed it.

....specially adaware.

here a few links to MSN messenger download links

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Solution: I've tried ALL the problems on this forum, nothing worked. I found out that my problem was easy and simple too repair, if your running Norton anti virus double click the icon in your task bar, Click Options, Instant Messanger and where it says "What instant messangers to protect" unclick MSN Messanger (Recommended). click ok and get out of it, now try and install, it SHOULD work, it did for me.

Hope this help's
