MSN Messenger newer version?
I logged on to Messenger today and I was asked if I wanted to download the
latest version 6.1 (no more info) but I already have version (6.1.0203) installed! Can anyone tell me if the version that I'm being asked to download is newer than the above version, or should I just ignore it and continue with what I've got? Thanks in advance. -- ºJümÞ¥Jïmm¥º |

I actually tried to find the version Information by searching with google and even on the MSN Messenger download page but could not find it, could you tell where I would find it for future reference. PS. I know where to find the info after I've installed messenger (Help/About) Its finding it before I download it I need to know. :0) -- ºJümÞ¥Jïmm¥º |

well, you can download the installer; SetupDl.exe, then open it with WinRAR,
extract MsnMsgs.msi, open that with WinRAR, then extract msnmsgrexe.XXXXXXX, and then choose properties on that, and you will see the version. -- Louis Solomon www.steelbytes.com "ºJümÞ¥Jïmm¥º" wrote in message ...

MSN Messenger newer version?
My mother has the same issue. If she says "Okay, go ahead, upgrade" than a
message says there'e no need because she already has the new version. The message keeps popping up. I installed 6.1 later and I have no problem. I did notice that the msi of version 6.1 offered for download today is slightly different than the one that was offered a couple of weeks ago. I am still to try this but I think it will be fixed if you just remove your current version and reinstall the latest. Martin. "ºJümÞ¥Jïmm¥º" wrote in message ...

MSN Messenger newer version?
Greetings Martin,
The easiest thing to do is to simply download and install the latest version from he http://messenger.msn.com/Download The latest version of 6.1 is 6.1.0207, so if you have a previous version to that, it's recommended that you upgrade, as .0207 has a number of fixes for problems in the previous 6.1 versions. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Martin Maat" wrote in message ...
