cheers.. but it didnt quite work

"4) Select the check box for Use automatic configuration script.
5) Copy the URL that is shown in the Address box below the check box. Paste it somewhere that you can retrieve it from later (in case you want to restore this setting when you are done installing WIndows Live)"

there was nothing in the box below anyway, but i still carried on, still no luck

Maybe you have a firewall/antivirus program blocking it?

Well im using ESET Smart Security 4 at the moment, im not quite sure how to add an exception of HTTP's and such :S

Can't you just disable it for the time you download Live Messenger?

i just tried that now, disabled ALL security things like ESET, and malwarebytes, still no luck =/

Maybe you can check this thread: Live Essentails Beta install error

Some people found a solution there using a modified download script and Windows Live Solution Center is working on a solution for the others.

This one? Using http://www.enccompany.com/microsoft/windowslive/essentials/wle_installfix.exe worked.

And also this one? Then tried same with proxy field (was populated, though disabled) and finally selected "auto configure" (as opposed to auto proxy).
THIS THEN allowed me to install. -- so I think there are more issues in this area than just the auto proxy script

Pff, difficult..

What i'd try to do as a last option is (if you don't already have) to switch of
any firewall/antivirus and then again the suggested options on the links I gave you.

Just to be shure did you also put in the blank space in the addressbox?

Otherwise you'll have to wait if somebody else on 7 Forum has an idea or untill
Microsoft Live has a solution for everybody.

I will keep on looking for it also..
