In some cases Windows Live Messenger (MSN) installer can't be found in the Control Panel's Programs applet or has become damaged with a failure error or the Windows Installer is prompting for a missing .msi file which you can't find anymore. There are fixes for all these problems, but they are complicated and can be frustrating to some people.
With all this in mind, Jonathan Kay developed ZapMessenger. ZapMessenger is a one step tool to completely remove Windows Live Messenger, MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger 5.x.
ZapMessenger attempt to cleanly uninstall WLM normally and if that fails for any reason, it forcibly remove Messenger from the Windows Installer engine allowing you to reinstall at your leisure without hindrance.
