deleting or re-installing Msn Messenger 7.5

I have been trying to delete msn messenger 7.5 and I've been through many of
the web sites online which tells you how to delete it, I've meddled with the
registry and I think all the messenger keys and files are deleted but I am
having trouble removing it out of the add/remove programs.

And another problem is when I try to re-install, an error message comes up
with the code 1635. I have no idea what do now, I think I've done everything
except re-formatting the computer and I don't really want to do that. Is
there any way I can delete it completely and re-install msn messemger?

Greetings,

If you grab the latest (don't try uninstalling), version from here:
http://messenger.msn.com/Download

and then when prompted, hit Repair, should solve the problem. However, depending on what
you've done, this option may or may not be available or work. Post back if you continue to
have problems.

I'm having a similar issue. I tried to upload the new 7.5 messenger and
since doing that, it seems as though I have two versions of messenger
happening. I have tried the 'repair' selection and am told that there are
issues with my firewall and or proxy. I've changed my firewall settings, but
cannot seem to fix the problem.
Please help!!!
Thanks,
JM
