i solved my own problem =P

To fix the 1601 error do this:

1. Click START, and then click RUN.

2. In the OPEN box, Type msiexec /unreg, and then click OK

3. When this process is complete, click START, and then click RUN.

4. In the OPEN box, type msiexec /regserver, and then click OK.

5. Now install MSN 6.
