Side-by-side configuration error while messenger is installing

Sorry - don't know what happened - the full answer failed to load - try again

If you interrogate the error log you may be able to isolate the error to one program - failing that you will have to go through with a 'blanket' repair - do not ignore the IE update if you have another browser set as default. IE is coded with Yahoo Messenger and used for everything - downloading files - signing in - games etc etc

At this stage it may be worth getting your window files as good as you can using a windows scan and repair

VISTA OS

Go to Start > Type in .....cmd........right-click on cmd and select "Run as administrator".
After the cursor paste in : SFC /SCANNOW and press your 'Enter' key.You can type it in, of course. but note the space between SFC and /

This procedure will scan Vista's protected system files
and attempt to repair or replace missing or corrupt files.
At the end of the report type in .......Exit
Hit the 'Enter' key

You will now have to uninstall and re-install one or more of the following - depending on the error report
* Service Pack 2 (SP2) for Windows Vista
* Java Runtime Environment
* DirectX Runtime Web Installer
* Visual C Runtime 2005
* Visual C Runtime 2010
* Microsoft .NET Framework 4
* Internet Explorer 8
