Hey guys,

As many of you know I am deployed forward to the middle east (Qatar to be exact)

I am having problems installing Yahoo Messenger, I believe in the new they are blocking a portion of the yahoo messenger installer.

This is just an educated guess, they already have the site blocked, so in my sneakyness I opened a command prompt, did an NSLOOKUP of messenger.yahoo.com and pasted the IP into my browser.

The installation begins and gets all the way to where I click "finish"
However, it never does... I had the yahoo messenger installed once already, and now it will not re-install.

I guess what I am looking for is either another app to run yahoo messenger OR a way to see if the application is being blocked on the network...

This is starting to irritate me, because in this instance we are riding another network, I know ours isnt blocking anything, so the only thing I can figure is the other government entity might have an important port blocked, or have it running via proxy only...

ANY help to resolve this is GREATLY appreciated...

Did you try installing from the installer and not the download manager?
