Basically it's trying to load a component that isn't there. I reproduced something similar
recently and didn't have any luck actually debugging what it was looking for using standard
tools (procmon, etc.) although I did end up figuring it out. Unfortunately it won't relate
to this Live Installer problem.
The quickest way to install Messenger would be to just download and install Messenger
directly from its MSI:

Having just failed miserably to get beta 2009 to run on a Vista machine, I
couldn't revert back to an older version - I kept getting error 0x8000ffff
Following your link and installing the MSI has worked - at least I can now
access messenger even if it's not the latest Beta!
Many thanks :)
Glad to hear it :)

but sadly, i too developed this miserable catastrophic failure error
when i tried to install windows live again. the funny thing is, i was
able to install beta again, but not the earlier version! why was that?
anyways, i was able to thankfully thankfully install windows live
messenger again from its MSI link provided above. u can say im able to
breathe again! :)
what i actually wanted to ask was, is it only messenger that i can
download like this? i would really like to get windows live mail too. if
anybody knows a way, im all ears!

I then stumbled upon this tool the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301
You can use the utility to remove installation information for programs
that were installed by using Windows Installer. Be aware that Windows
Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your
computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can
start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
Worked Great i removed the info that Windows Installer assumed was
there and was able to proceed with my installation with no Catastrophic
failure.
There's 3 hours of my life i won't get back but hopefully this will
help someone else. Cheers Lola

I have found a solution.
I had the windows live beta installed on my pc but then crashed when it
forced me to install an update version which corrupted the installation
files.
I tryed to manually uninstall windows live beta from control panel and
then tryed to install the normal windows live messenger on
http://messenger.msn.co.uk but then was receiving the same error code.
I then go to control panel and then saw Windows Live Programs (beta)
i select that but then does not recconize i got any windows live
messenger installed. So i try to install windows live beta again. It
worked. but then as for having problems with it i didnt like it, i go to
that same program on the controll panel and un selected everything that
was install to un install.
It removed all the windows live beta features it had on my pc and tryed
once again to install the normal windows live messenger and it work with
no error code and is now working fine :D
Hope this works for you too like it did to me

Have Windows XP - with Updated SP 3 - Office 2007 with all up to date.
Have tried many times to sync MS Outlook with my Hotmail - Message comes
up - "Calendar contains corrupt Data that is forcing MS Outlook to close
- 0x8000FFFF"
After many attempts gave up on the Option of using Outlook for my Emails
as I used to do in my previous Company Supplied PC and Support.
Recently tried again with Windows Live Mail.
Today 13/07/10 succeeded in getting WLV synced with my Hotmail. Took 3/4
hours
Then when I rebooted the same "0x8000FFFF" message came up when opened
WLM.
On two occasions the WLM opened - but then crashed.
Then using the "0x8000FFFF" as Web search came to this Web.
Have deleted my existing Windows Live Essential + Live Sync and Upload
Tool.
Downloaded from V3.co.uk Windows Live Suite 2009.
Still cannot open Windows Live Mail and the same "Calendar contains
corrupt Data that is forcing MS Outlook to close - 0x8000FFFF"
Help
