Installing MSN Msngr 6.2 with XP SP2

Hi there-

I recently installed XP SP2, which breaks Windows
Messenger, so it was suggested to me to install MSN
Messenger instead.

When the download has completed and the setup program is
executed, I get the following message:

"Setup could not find a drive with 5465 KB free disk
space to install the program. Please free up some space
first and press RETRY or press CANCEL to exit setup."

However, there is 44GB free on drive C: (there are no
other DOS/Windows partitions aside from this one,) so
clearly this message is in error. Clicking "Retry" many
times has no effect. I've tried downloading and
installing the program a few times, using both the
automated download and the manual download.

Is there any way to get around this problem?

Thanks,
Robert
