file msnmsgr.exe missing in Windows Live Messenger

I am trying to install Windows Live Messenger on my laptop Vista Enterprise 4.1. The download and the installation went correctly, but when I try to run the Messenger by clicking on the shortcut, it gives me an error that the computercan not locate 'msnmsgr.exe' file. I also checked "C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\" file, but the file does not exist there.

I am downloading directly from Microsoft and have cleaned my computer, clean the registry and have tried the download/install several times.

Help, please.

The only way to get the hidden folder is to type-

"C:\Users\usernamexxxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Virtualized\C\Users\usernamexxx" typed in the box to begin running with the username correct and entire line including the quotes.   You can't navigate past the Temporary Internet Files folder by clicking on folders and try to go like this.

What you might try is to uninstall Messenger Live and re-download the file wlsetup - web.exe from this link (to avoid the non-Microsoft links).

Windows Live Essentials
http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-Essentials?OS=other

SAVE the file wlsetup - web.exe on your drive hard (do not run it from the server).  Locate wlsetup - web.exe on your hard disk and start the whole installation by right clicking on the .exe and the option to choose "run as Administrator".

Before you do the above, it would be wise to disable temporarily any scanner in real time that you use, as they may interfere with a successful installation.

Windows Live people may be able to help.

  • C:\Windows\System32\D3D10Level9.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error when it tried to update to windows live messenger

    Original title: installing windows live messenger update revealed a .dll file bad, maybe direct3d related.

    I am running windows Vista professional, service pack 2. I just updated windows live essentials, specifically the Messenger and have since lost feature program.

    The launch of the program, I get an error message saying:

    "
    Msnmsgr.exe - bad Image

    C:\Windows\System32\D3D10Level9.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try to install the program by using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the provider of software for support.
    "

    subsequently I do not have much in graphical material in the e-mail program, insofar as a chat window is empty (but I can still type messages and send them, without being able to see, or no response). I don't see this problem in any other program, but perhaps no other programs try to use graphics in this way. In principle, I could downgrade windows live Messenger back to what it was, but that seems more to avoid the problem rather than solve them.

    I had a quick glance in the D3D10Level9.dll file, in the system32 folder: it has no size and is apparently empty. Conclude that this file is just broken and needs to be replaced?

    An internet search indicates that this file is described as "Direct3D 10 to Direct3D9 translation Runtime". I was wondering if it was a directx problem, so tried to reinstall that. It did not work.

    It seems to me that I need a replacement for this particular dll file that actually works, but I'm incredibly careful to find a replacement and the "tips" on how to mess with some arbitrary site system files.

    Could someone offer any advice on how I should proceed with this? What danger is there to find me a replacement dll file, change the privileges of the corrupted file, so I can replace it and make the switch? It would be the right thing to do? My analysis of the situation is correct? Could it be solved with a relocation of a program?

    Thank you very much

    Uninstalling and reinstalling the update of windows for a year that has put the file d3d10level9.dll on the computer, the problem has been resolved.
