Windows Live Installer will not install programs anymore!?

Question

I had Windows Live Messenger and Mail installed, but I deleted them just by deleteing the folders in program files. Very bad move. But now when I download the Windows Live Installer, it says that the programs are already installed! I have tried Windows Live support about 1000 times and they keep giving me the same response, which is to delete "C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Windows Live" and "C:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;All Users&#92;Application Data&#92;WLInstaller". These have not worked and I am driving myself mad trying to get it to install. Can anyone help??

You can use the Windows Install Clean Up utility or you can try cleaning the registry.

Have you looked in your Deleted Items folder to see if you can put them back, then remove them properly and then reinstall them?

Have you made backup points along so you can use the system restore to put everything back the way it was?

If no to both of the above, then you will probably have to remove all the pointers in the registry regarding both applications before you can reinstall them. This is rather dangerous and you may want to pay a technical person rather than try this yourself.
