Will it work for people who upgraded from Vista and so already have MSN premium installed?
I am now unable to send e-mails within MSN premium - apparently it's not able to sync with the servers..

I ended up uninstalling Norton Internet Security 2009 and when I went back into MSN premium it works, though with a few glitches (no more than normal!)
Qwest with MSN Premium
I get to the point where I'm asked if i have an existing @msn.com email address. i select yes and enter the email address and password. Then nothing. I do get a "Please Wait" message and a status bar but that's it.
my new computer came with Trend Micro preloaded and that's all I'm using right now.
Ok, I also have Qwest,
Try this;
Download and install Avast (avast! - Download antivirus software for spyware and virus protection), it's free for home users, if you wish to keep it you'll have to register for the key, which is also free.
Once installed and running, disable/shut down "Trend Micro" completely and turn on "Windows Firewall"
Now, try the installation again.
Let me know the outcome.
I've been reading a lot lately that the following AV's do not play nice with Win7 and Vista;
AVG, Norton, Trend Micro and McAfee
I've tested many AV's with XP, Vista and Win7 and always went back to Avast. IMHO, it works the best.
With MSN Premium, I also use Spysweeper by Webroot, which is also free for MSN members.

I'll give it a shot, hopefully this evening. I'll post up the results.
Same results.
I went to the following site and clicked on the "Install" Button.
MSN Member Center
When I try to install the software I get a blank grey window and another pop-up with error code 235 in the lower left corner.
Frustrating to say the least.
Got it!! Got intouch with MSN tech support via my ISP. Turns out that 64bit systems need to delete a "Post Platform" file but you'll need to follow this trailof files. Use the same steps given by Adamsappleone to open the regisrty editor thenwork your way down the file tree until you get to this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Post Platform
Right click on Post Platform and select DELETE.
Now install MSN Premium....but you're not done!!!!!
After the system is installed Right Click on the Butterfly Icon
Select Properties
Left Click the Compatibility tab
Click the square next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
From the pulldown that follows the previous step select "Windows Vista (Service Pack 1)
At the bottom of the window left click the button labeled "Change settings for all users"
Click the square next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
From the pulldown that follows the previous step select "Windows Vista (Service Pack 1)
Click on Apply
When the window closes click on the "Apply" button.
Restart your computer.
