Windows 7, update for messenger, error 80070643

I tried for 3 days to install the new version of messenger.  It wasn't a big deal before because I could still use my Messenger, but now I can't connect because whenever I try I get a pop up telling me I need to install the new Messenger to connect.  It has been very frustrating.  All help topics have not been any use.  So now I ask the question what do I need to do to get this installed so I can reuse my Messenger?

I looked at the support page for the update of the platform and he said I can get it from windows update, but when I bring up windows update and search for new updates, it says that my computer is up to date. What could be the problem?

  • I am at my wits end now ragarding Microsoft Windows vista update code "80070246" error Need help.

    Hello

    I have windows vista and for the last few weeks I can't get windows updates. I just get an error with this code 80070246 screen. It says 'never' most recent checks the updates and updates have been installed 'never '. I did the operation of Micorsoft update packages to prepare and package files autonomous but still no luck. I can't do this thing global installer that you burn it to a cd and run your windows disk with as I don't have vista or windows disk that the computer came with it installed, but no disc.

    Completely fed up that I can't install printers etc.. Ive tried to disable my internet security completely taken it out but still no luck so it isn't a firewall problem.

    Can someone please recomment something?

    Yes, this problem did start once my previous [subscription of the antivirus application?] has expired.

    Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

    HOW to do a clean install of Vista: section "If you want to reinstall Windows Vista by running a new installation...". "of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista

    Tip: Contact the manufacturer of the computer for instructions on the use of the hidden restore partition (do not be confused with the system restore) to do a clean install of Vista.

    Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

    Tip: After getting the computer fully patched, download/install KB971029 manually: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971029

    NB: No matter what Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free and download/run the removal tool before installing updates, Windows Service Packs, or updates IE and before installing your new anti-virus application (which will require WinXP SP3 must be installed).

  • How can I get windows xp updates for later use? What I have to do?

    I use Windows XP SP3 & Windows 7 Ultimate. How can I get updates so that I can install it even after reinstalling windows.

    I want this cause I have to reinstall Windows frequently.

    A much simpler and easier solution is to do a clean install and update and then create an image of your new installation, the next time you need to reinstall Windows you simply restore your image and update the image newly installed and then create an image update for the next installation.  There are many Imaging disc out there, many of them for free.  I prefer TeraByte Image for Windows (not free) for my imaging needs.
