I am on Windows 7 Home Premium and I am trying to install an older version of Messenger, I have 2011 at the moment. I've deleted all of the Windows Live Messenger files, the installer, and run every cleanup program I can think of, but it still tells me that I have a newer version installed. Even when I try to re-install the 2011 version, it won't let me.

Can you suggest anything that may help, since I'm not very keen on wiping everything and starting over.

I can't find C:ProgramData (my root drive letter is C).

Is there no known fix for this?
Windows Live Upload Tool
This installation is forbidden by system policy
Contact your system administrator.
Please try installing Windows Live programs again.
An unknown error occurred.
hr.0x80070659

I haven't been able to use Windows Live Messenger in over a year
My windows xp pro crashed & i had to do a windows fix
