Msn Messenger Error 2771
3 (SP3), starting Windows Live Messenger (WLM) may pop up an install error. The error reads: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2771." Error 2771 means there is a missing component. The simplest fix is to let WLM's installer repair the issue automatically. If, however, the error dialog keeps popping up every time WLM is started then the suggested fix is to uninstall WLM from Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel and reinstall the package from Microsoft's website. This should correct the issue. On a side note, some users out there don't want Microsoft cluttering the Windows desktop with ads via WLM so they install A-Patch. The moral and ethical dilemma is up to the reader to sort out but Microsoft is providing instant messaging on an ad-supported model. If too many users do this then it could affect everyone's free access. Choose wisely!

David Thew on July 28th, 2008 1:08 pm My question is this. I went to add/remove. I see 2 things for Windows. One is "Windows Live installer" and the other is "Windows Live Messenger". Do I need to remove both of them? They look like they are part of the same thing? Also, how do I save my contacts? Do I just need to write them down? Is there a way to store them so I can re-add them when I reinstall? Thanks. Therese on July 29th, 2008 6:34 am Thx for the solution. but i still have one question. I use Vista as an operating system. is it ok for me to do the same steps you suggested for Windows XP? Thanks Hisham on July 29th, 2008 9:32 am @David: Microsoft stores your contacts on their server so you don't need to save them. If you have any doubts that you'll lose them then log into messenger and one of the drop down menus will let you save your contact list onto your desktop. @Therese: I haven't tried this method on Windows Vista but I suspect it'll probably be pretty similar. If I remember correctly, Vista makes you download and install Live Messenger from the internet. If that is the case then go ahead and do it but make sure you have a backup of your computer in place if there is any doubt you'l
