I blatted my XP install and ran HP recovery disks which reinstalls XP + SP2. Downloaded SP3 from Windows Update and then ran Windows Live Installer to install Messenger which fell over in a big heap as expected. Ran the regsrv32 command and everything was fine.

After much googling I have come across a solution. This also solves issues that exist with the windows update service after installing SP3. Essentially what you need to do is: 1. Download and run the Windows Live Installer Cleanup tool from: http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/3/0/23036331-516d-4c7e-b9ac-31554a2fec06/WL-Beta-remove.zip 2. Reboot 3. Click START>Run and type 'command' to load the console. 4. Type in: regsvr32 wups2.dll and press enter. 5. Type exit to leave the console 6. Download and run the windows live installer, it should now work perfectly. Hope this helps.
