I downloaded MSN 6.0 to my desktop and after trying to install it. I get a Error message that says "Cannot install MSN Error code 1603" see the MSN help page. I've gone there an found absolutely no help, I have IE 6.0, windows ME OS I even took the advice of someone told me to download a installer program 2.0 and that didn't help either...The same Error Code 1603 keeps coming up. I goes through the whole process of installing and right at the end is when this message comes up. Now when I try to reinstall any older versions of MSN messenger I keep getting the same message, so I can't even re-install an older version. I must have some kind of bug not letting me install it on my registry is what I'm a thinking. I did the %Temp% solution to clearing out the registry and that didn't work either. So I'm stuck with out it. I really liked MSN Messenger too.. Oh well thanks everyone for you're help I appreciate any new idea's... Take Care

Hi everyone, I had a post here a while back about a error message I'm getting while trying to install MSN 6.0. I still haven't found a solution to the Error 1603 installer 2.0 didn't help I'm running ME OS and yes I know what it stands for. But that's still not helping get Messenger up and running on my p.c. If anyone has any ideas or solutions to this problem your help would be greatly appreciated...Thanks...

Well here's another silly question or observation. But you know it's funny when ever you get a ERROR message... from whoever the maker of the software is and it always gives you this number for instance 1603 in my case and another guy had 1601 with the MSN Messenger 6.0 and this goes for all other software too. But back to the point which is, you would think that whoever developed the software or someone... anyone would have this little book for ERROR CODES. with all the little numbers in it with the fix for the problems. But no matter it be MSNMSG or IE or any program. No one seems to have that little book for all the error codes. Just a silly observation.. I'm sure someone has the anwser... I'm just not looking hard enough...LOL

Hi, Thanks for the reply's. Still no luck with getting 6.0 installed. I did d/l the correct version and when I go to the help page for installation problems it links me to a IE page. Which really isn't any help. If you have the link for the 9x version post the link and I'll see if I can get going from there. I'll check cnet also. Thanks to everyone for the help. It's greatly appreciated.
