Windows Live Essentials Unistalling and reinstalling

I tried all the steps and downloaded a bunch of things to solve this problem, but none of them does not seem to work. I had problems to sign in to my msn messenger. I got the error code: 80040154. I uninstalled it then that I was not able to install it. I got the error code: .exe is not a valid Win32 application.

  • Error: 0 x 80280006 so that he tried to update to Windows Live Essentials 2011

    Computer: Compaq Presario PC

    Model: SR5130NX

    Version of Windows: Vista

    Problem: I know exactly what I did to cause this: I would open Windows Live Movie Maker and it asked me to update to Windows Live Essentials 2011. I started to let that happen, but then I thought, ' wait, maybe I should cancel this update and check to see if there is already a newer version (for example, '2012') of Windows Live Essentials "(I had no idea at the time where it's the only version of Windows Live Essentials, should I use for Vista). So I cancelled the update and that's where I made my mistake. He canceled for me and said something along the lines of "it may be a problem with one or more of the programs (such as). Now, if I try to open Windows Live Essentials to start the update, I just get the same message on my screen: a small box entitled, circle of "Windows Live Essentials 2011"with a big red with a white 'X', then to the right of which the title, 'You are installing other programs' there." Then he says below, "Please wait until all other programs are finished installing and then try again." Under the heading 'Détails' he said, "You cannot install, uninstall or repair Windows Live programs while other programs are being installed." Under this sentence: "error: 0 x 80280006" and below, "Source: in_use.

    I tried Applications already in the control task manager and nothing related to my problem. I also checked the other answers here to questions similar to mine, but they do not seem to solve my specific problem. Someone will show you please how to undo me, step by step, this problem so I can get the necessary (s) update for Windows Live Essentials 2011 and start making movies with Windows Live Movie Maker? If you can send me to my normal email address: rather than my old, , which would be extremely useful. Thank you.

How can I clean uninstall live essentials so everything is reinstalled again?

    Hello godsdragon,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    It shows that you have a corruption in your file system.
    Run the System File Checker:

    Click Start
    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
    Click on "Run as Administrator"
    At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

    This will check for any violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

    Restart your system

    Then try again and download and install Windows Installer Cleanup Tool. Click here to download the utility.
    You can use the utility to remove installation information for programs that were installed by using Windows Installer. Remember that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall on.

    If this does not work uninstall, reinstall the program and then try to uninstall again. Usually, this will help to eliminate all aspects of the programs.

    I hope this helps.

    Well, I need recently the Movie Maker for editing stuff. I looked at theStart > all programs list but is not there. Yet once I downloaded the Windows Live Essentials, but it says I already have Windows Movie Maker on my computer. The thing is that I can't find anywhere on my computer (or maybe it's there, I just don't know how to find it). I also tried opening appwiz.cpl and checked Windows Movie Maker and photo gallery, but the entries are not there. So I can't proceed with the following steps in Microsoft Help Tutorials.
