Since today quite a lot of users already work in Windows 7, I decided to write an instruction on how to install and uninstall Windows Live Messenger in Windows 7.
Windows Live Messenger- Internet pager from Microsoft.
Windows Live Messenger lets you communicate in real time with friends, family, and colleagues using text messages, voice and video calls.
Emoticons and live pictures, photo and file sharing, collaborative search and many more - instantly.
In addition, it is possible to make phone calls through the MCI Web Calling for Windows Live Call telephony system.
This program is similar to programs like Skype or ICQ.
Now I will tell you how you can install and then uninstall this program in Windows 7 Enterprise. In other versions of Windows 7, installation and uninstallation will look similar.
to install Messenger, you need to go to the Microsoft website at this address:
At the top right, you need to click on the blue square with the inscription "For home".
An inscription will appear at the bottom "Products" and a list of these very products, in which you need to click on Windows Live.
Below is a list of the major Windows Live products.
You must select a section Windows Live Essentials and press the button "download" under him.
After that, a new page will open with a detailed description of the components from the Windows Live Essentials set.
On this page you need to select the section "Messenger" and click on it.
A new window opens again, this time with a description of the Messenger program itself.
On the right, there is a button for downloading this program.
The language "Russian" is indicated under the button, it can be changed to another. I left everything as it is and pressed the button.
After that, the download of the file began.
Depending on which browser you have installed, you may see an additional prompt to save the file.
I ended up downloading the file "Wlsetup-web.exe" a little more than 1 MB in size. This is not the program itself, but its installer.
After launching this file, the "Preparing to install the program" window appears, and after a while the installation window appears, in which there are 2 options:
1. Install all the main components of Windows Live;
2. Select programs to install.
I choose the second option to install Messenger, not the entire Windows Live suite.
For example, I only noted Messenger, and pressed the button "Install".
The installation has started.
My program was installed in a few minutes. The installation speed will depend on both the power of the PC and the speed of the Internet connection. installation comes from the Internet.
The installation is complete.
The user is invited to Windows Live.
If you already have a Windows Live account, you can connect right away. If you've used Hotmail, the Messenger app, or XboxLIVE before (for example, you have an Xbox), then you must have an account.
If it does not exist, then you need to create it.
I do not have an account, and I decided not to create one yet, I press the button "Close".
After that I see.
Here you need to enter a username and password, you can also configure memorization and automatic start when you turn on the PC.
After connecting to the server, you can work.
Now let's look at how to uninstall Messenger.
Open a window with a list of installed programs.
To do this, you need to press "Start", select "Control Panel" and in a new window In chapter "Programs" select item "Removing a program".
Find the line in the list of programs Windows Live 2011 Essentials, click on it with the right mouse button, and select "Remove / Change".
If you select the item "Delete", then all components will be removed Windows Live Essentials, and through paragraph "Change" you can choose to remove some components.
In the new window, select "Remove one or more Windows Live programs":
In the next window, the components to be removed are selected.
Because I installed only Messenger, then I can only uninstall it.
If you install several programs, then in this window you can select and remove only unnecessary ones.
Removal completed. You can restart your PC just in case.
Thus, it is possible to install and uninstall a software package. Windows Live Essentials.
If suddenly appeared on your computer Messenger, and it is not clear how to remove it - one of the options is to install it as expected, and then remove it in the same way.
