Default Cant install windows live messenger new and now cant even install old

ok, heres the deal. I have a windows xp of 128 mb ram. i downloaded and installed the new version of wlm from softpedia . the file was of 24 mb . during intsallation, after its extracting msn mgr.msi or something, its just simply vanishes...nothing happens . there is one process going on names msiexec.exe or something like that so i close it . i do this 2 or 3 times and the same result . so i then try to intsall the old version that i had before windows live messenger 8.1 (i think) , and now its doesnt install that because it says that a newer version of windows live messenger is already installed and uninstall it from the add/remove programs in the control panel but its not there . so now the newer version isnt properly installed and doesnt appear anywhere and now i cant even install the older version . help please .

Try system restore back to where you were using the old msn.
