unable to install MSN v6 I get message "Setup has failed
with error code '1601'.Please go to msn website & download
the software from there." Did that and got same error
message.any ideas or help appreciated
 
Don't mean to give false hope, but I get the same
problem -- I also have MSN8 and with the wonderful,
inconvenient shutdown last night, I still can't install
the program due to 1601. I ran all the updates for XP and
Internet Explorer (since that's all Microsoft would tell
me to do) and the dang thing still doesn't work. I do
have a question for Allen -- who built your CPU? I'm
thinking it might be a manufacturer thing...

Help us, please!!
 
Thanks Jonathan works well -many thanks
Allen

Greetings Allen,

This usually happens if your Windows Installer is not working properly.

To correct, do the following --
If you're using Windows 2000 or XP, click Start, then Run, and type the following:
%systemroot%\system32\dllcache\msiexec.exe /regserver
then click OK.

After this, run the install again.
