Just when you thought version 7.5.0322 could solve all your problems, error 80048883 pops up and starts frustrating users.
The latest post on the Messenger Support Space says that because of error 80048883, MSN Messenger 7.5.0322 has been pulled and the earlier version 7.5.0311 is the latest one “available”.
I guess this means more work is needed. If you get error 80048883 with build 322, try uninstalling it and installing build 0311 from the MSN Messenger Web site. Does build 311 give you error 80048820? Take a look at these support steps.
Over at the Microsoft forums, a user has posted for helping regarding installation error 1635. Another user has responded saying MSN support told them to use the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, other users have tried it with successful results and even with errors 1601 and 1603.
Sounds obvious doesn’t it? Most steps for resolving installation errors for MSN Messenger involve deleting files, modifying the registry, etc. This program simply removes all Windows Installer information for the application (leaving behind all the program files, which are fine), allowing you to run the MSN Messenger installer again cleanly, as if it is not currently installed.

It appears the chat-bot Spleak, which you were previously only able to use by installing a seperate application that mimics a MSN Messenger instant message window, is now available as a normal contact. The address is spleak@hotmail.com.
Update: Check out this press release for all the information.
Just a couple of days ago I got an update prompt while using 7.5.0311 and thought build 322 was being deployed. Sure enough, a post on the Messenger Support Space has appeared about it and claims to have fixed the dreaded 80048820 error which made an appearance with MSN Messenger 7.5
If you haven’t been prompted to update (which is likely if you can’t sign in…), go grab it from the MSN Messenger Web site and see if that darn error has disappeared.
Marty from the Inside Windows Live Messenger blog has posted about a sign up page for the Windows Live Messenger beta. It is the same one that made a couple of appearances a while back, but never did anything — this time it is for real. Just enter your Passport address, choose your country (from a small list, might be updated soon?) and wait for an invitation.!
