Jonathan,

Every time I try to open a pdf file - the windows installer opens and tries
to install WM 5.0 - any ideas?
 
Greetings,

You can use the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility to fix this.

First, download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/office2000pro/util20/1/NT4/EN-US/msicuu.exe

Run and install the program after you've downloaded it. After the setup is complete, click
Start, then Programs (All Programs if you're using XP), then Windows Install Clean Up.

Click Windows Messenger 5.0 and then click 'Remove'. Click 'OK' to the warning message that
comes up. Also, you may need to recreate some Messenger shortcuts (you'll find Windows
Messenger in \Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe).

Thanks Jonathan,

Did as you intructed - WM 5.0 did not appear in the list. So I uninstalled
WM 5.0 using a link from one of your previous posts and then reinstalled
it - problem solved - thanks for not only this reply but for your previous
post!
