For providing a quick solution put in layman terms with simple and clear instructions so that anyone can follow along and implement.
Thanks again my friend.
And yes, you're right. Why the heck it takes so long for someone like yourself to post some sense, heaven knows when there are so many geeks on the forums who could have easily done it the way you have.

2016-07-24T11:36:24+00:00 I had same issue. Here is how to fix it. This is easy and works! Thanks to whoever figured it out.
After long day of research, at last I got the solution. It seems the new Windows Live has grouped the wldcore.dll and wldlog.dll (used by Messenger, Contacts and Mail) to a folder c:\Program Files\Windows Live\Shared

Maybe because I did upgrade install it screwed up things.
The solution was simply copy paste those 2 files wldcore.dll and wldlog.dll from c:\Program Files\Windows Live\Shared to
- c:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger
- c:\Program Files\Windows Live\Contacts
- c:\Program Files\Windows Live\Mail
Now I can login to Windows Live Messenger and enjoy the whole Windows Live Essentials 2011 products.
c:\ProgramFiles\WindowsLive\Shared cannot be found on my (Win 7) PC
