I had to reinstall my windows 7 home premium from scratch.

Same machine, new WD HDD .

I tried to install windows live mail which I previously used on the same machine, I would get the following message...

couldn't install mail
One of the installation files appears to be corrupted
Error: 0x80070002

Tried again and agail, rebooted, to no avail.

Tried to installl live mail 11, got a message that a newer version was already installed.

Realized that indeed there was  a C:\Program Files\Windows Mail  with a WinMail.exe which I tried to execute, Nothing.

Impossible to delete.

No entry in Control Panel/ Programs and features.

I need my mail.
