Can't install Windows messenger on my Windows XP

I thought Windows XP came with Windows messenger? When I try to install it
from Microsofts site, a banner pops up and tells me that this is not a Win 32
application and then aborts the installation? Has this ever happened before?
Can I use my Windows XP CD to install messanger from there? I know others
with this computer do have messenger on their computer, so why am I having a
problem? Some suggesstions please, I have a eager nephew that is dying to use
this product with me. Hate to disappoint him.
thanks in advance for any help

Greetings,

Sounds like your download was corrupt (or you have more serious problems like bad RAM, a
virus, etc.), however what your nephew is probably trying to get is MSN Messenger, which can
be found here:
