Messenger 4.7 to 6.0 problems

[Peter Skinner]

Hi

I have messenger 4.7 . When I upgraded to Messenger6, 4.7 stayed.. (WHY)

Now I have two working versions of Messenger. I know I can uninstall
Messenger thanks to this newgroup.

http://messenger.jonathankay.com/problem.aspx?ID=7

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

What version of Messenger will this code Delete. 4.7 or 6 or both?

Also I where on the MS site can I get the latest version of Messenger to
download...

Thanks everyone cool News Group...

Cheers

Peter

Greetings Peter,

Windows Messenger 4.7 and MSN Messenger 6 are separate applications -- as such, MSN Messenger
6 does *not* upgrade Windows Messenger (and Windows Messenger stays).

This "code" will remove Windows Messenger 4.7 only. Keep in mind that if you do remove
Windows Messegner this way, Remote Assistance, Whiteboard and Application Sharing will no
longer work in MSN Messenger 6 (if you use those functions).

The "latest" Windows Messenger can be found here:

The "latest" MSN Messenger can be found here:
