Windows XP SP3 all upgrades/patches installed.

First tried to upgrade an old version, didn't work.

Saw an old thread that recommended making sure that old version is completely uninstalled and deleting the old folder from Program Files so I did that.  

Tried installing the most recent offline version Live Essentials, still no joy.  Always the same, gets to 100% then rolls back the entire install. Always the same error message aborted: 0x80004004
