How can I uninstall Windows Live Messenger from Vista when it doesn't appear in Add/ Remove?

Question

I want to uninstall Windows Live Messenger (installed it about a month ago, so early Marchish 2009)... and I have a Vista laptop. It's not appearing in Add/ Remove (tried searching for "Live" and "Messenger" as well and didnt appear), so is this happening to anyone else/ how can I find a way to uninstall it? :) Thanks in advance =]

Answer 1

The new versions of Windows Live Messenger do not have an uninstall utility for just the messenger. What you need to look for is a program called "Windows Live installer" inside your Add/Remove Programs window in Control Panel. Once you run it, you will see options to uninstall Windows Live.
