Default Messenger 8.5 Help Please

Hi, i did have messenger 7.5 but have now been advised to installed the latest version 8.5. I must have tried so many websites but i keep getting this message

" Windows live installation can not be completed.

Make sure your computer is not running is safe mode, and that it has Windows Installer 3.1, or later then try again. To get the latest version of Windows Installer, go to the Windows Update Website and install all critical updates."

I have tried all day to install this but have failed.

Please help. Thank You . Ash
