For the life of me, I cannot get Windows Live Messenger

Okay, here's the deal; This is an EXTREMELY fresh install of Windows 7 RC1.

I do not have any firewalls on, not even the Windows firewall.

I've ran two virus scanners, I am not infected.

I go to Windows Live Messengers website. (Essentials - Windows Live) and click download, it takes me to the page, and about two seconds later, my browser times out. I have attempted this in internet explorer, firefox, and opera.

Okay, fine, whatever. I used the installer on my flash drive, about 5 seconds in, it tells me that I am not connected to the internet. Fantastic.

Now, this worked absolutely flawlessly with the previous builds (I'm using RC1 now) so I don't understand why it isn't now.

All other devices using this internet connection can access and download Windows Live Messenger just fine, not an issue.

What on earth is going on?

Each problem;
Tried in Firefox.
Installer error
Installer error even with compatibility mode.

is it possibly your flash install :)

I'm logged into Hotmail, same error.

>>is it possibly your flash install

No, I doubt it. Same things happens from the install I get from the CNet mirror.

I think you are so lucky.

Bumping for suggestions.

Enzo.

I tried, it appears I can't access;

Can anyone else?
