How do you update windows messenger, the current version I have is 4.7 (4.7.3001) when you already have the Windows XP home edition version 2002 service pack 2.

How to update windows messenger
Greetings,
What are you trying to update to? There is a Windows Messenger 5.1 it looks exactly identical to what you're using now, and really only adds functionality for the corporate space. The consumer version of Messenger has moved to Windows Live Messenger, which isn't an upgrade from Windows Messenger but a completely different version. You do use the same sign in credentials to log in though, and you'll have your same contact list. You can get Windows Live Messenger he http://get.live.com/messenger/overview -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2006 Jonathan Kay.

How to update windows messenger
Hi Jonathan,
As i said, I've already tried the standalones (including your version), but while the installer is loading, it simply stops all of a sudden and no action proceeds after that. Ever seen that happening? Thanks! si.
