Hi, I too have this problem, I was trying to install Windows Live Mail and I keep getting this 0x80070643 error, where the installer quits in the middle blaming a fatal error. I don't have the luxury of reinstalling Windows XP, and my old computer's specs do meet the requirements (and isn't 64bit).
I've gone through many methods, and even uninstalled all Windows Live + Windows live installer related things using a script on Microsoft.com, but nothing has worked and I can't get the installer to work.
Is there any other way to install these Windows Live things? If not can anyone help?

Check the date and time settings on Windows.
I had a computer the other day that was spitting out the same type of errors on install. Turned out that was the problem.

It seems I onloy have a 637 MHz processor, so that may be the reason the installer is freaking out. (Minimum spec is 800 MHz).
If this is the case, is there another way to get the Windows Live products?
In any case I will probably just go looking for another place to download Messenger.
Thanks for all your help, I will still check this thread.

This has been bugging me recently too. I found a solution that worked for me here - http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet...0x80070643.aspxScroll down, and near the bottom is a series of commands that need to be entered in order for the installation to proceed.

Just for completeness: "I had the same problem. The way I fixed it (and it worked) was to go to Start>Run, type 'cmd' and then enter each of these one at a time at the command prompt (hit 'enter' after each one if needed): regsvr32 wuapi.dll regsvr32 wuaueng.dll regsvr32 atl.dll regsvr32 wucltui.dll regsvr32 wups.dll It also fixes an issue where you keep getting messages from the security center saying automatic updates are off when the automatic update window says they are on." note: before these commands, you have to move into the system32 folder with "cd \windows\system32"
