perhaps if you told us what the error was? and googled it yourself? and looked the error number up on microsoft.com? that would help lots!

Another google: this time for the Hresult bit of the error code. This link turned up.

In summary, create a new Windows administrator account, login to the new account, install MSN, logout and login as yourself.

No idea if it works though...

Hello,

Thank you for writing to MSN Messenger Service.

I am addressing your concern in receiving the 1603 error message when trying to
download MSN Messenger.

When you try to install MSN Messenger, you may receive the following error
messages: "MSN Messenger setup has failed. Error code: 1601," "MSN Messenger
setup has failed. Error code: 1603," "MSN Messenger setup has failed. Error
code: 1613."
You may receive these messages if the Windows Installer files did not update.
To resolve the issue, try the following:

1. If you tried to upgrade by clicking the There is a new Messenger available,
would you like to upgrade now? message: a. Close all applications and restart
the computer.
b. Start MSN Messenger.
c. Click the There is a new Messenger available, would you like to upgrade
now? message and follow the steps.

2. If you tried to upgrade or download MSN Messenger from the MSN Messenger
Web site: a. Close all applications and restart the computer.
b. Visit http://messenger.msn.com, and then try to download MSN Messenger
again.

3. Remove, and then reinstall MSN Messenger: a. Remove MSN Messenger.
