    I am getting the following error message when trying to open Live Mail and Messenger 

     
    "C:\Program Files\Windows Live\MEssenger\msnmsgr.exe

    The application has failed to start beacuse the side-by-side configuration is incorrect.  Please see the application event log for more detail."

    I have uninstall amd install "windows live essential 2011" but still it does not work.

    Please help me to fix this issue.

    No this did not work - I have uninstalled and re-installed Windows Live three times.  (including all sub-directories) I have also un-installed Microsoft Visual C++ and re-installed this
