Why can't I install Yahoo Messenger?

Why cant install yahoo messenger 9.0?

  • wanna do install yahoo messenger 9.0

  • Answer:

    ANY Yahoo! Messenger program will not install if a former program, or an incomplete install has not been completely deleted from the computer first. It requires deleting all Yahoo Messenger references from the registry, except your archived messages and profile and contacts lists, perhaps. Check by using 'Search for files...' in Programs, and delete any references to 'Yahoo! Messenger' that you find - note the exclamation mark in the program title. Also, go to My Computer > Local Disk > Programs and delete any Messenger files there. Download and SAVE the program directly from the File Hippo web site - it seems more successful than an update or install from Yahoo's site, or even choosing to install by Run. I suggest saving it to your Desktop so it doesn't get 'lost'. Install it only AFTER completely cleaning the registry of remnants. Download the most recent version of any Yahoo Instant Messenger (highest number, top of its list) Some firewalls have issues with installing Messenger, but disabling your firewall while online is very dangerous. Usually, by installing after downloading, the firewall will ask for permission to run.
