@sphinx:

My old Messenger (was also a Gant MSN) told me there is a new version. Would you like to upgrade blabla..? Yes. I did it, get the normal version with standardicons, looked in help,about: 6.2.0137. Then I start setup from your new GantMSN, get Error Message: a previous installation of MSN Messenger is required. Please upgrade to the newest version.

That?s all. WinXP SP1 german version.

Perhaps your GantMSN setup is looking in c:\program files and on my Pc it is c:\programme??

Otherwise it?s not sooo important, i can live with this "new version" popup for a whil;);)

Well the auto-update feature is not for Gant MSN. It's for the regular MSN Messenger... You won't find that in this new version because now it will tell you there is a new version of 'MSN Messenger' and not Gant MSN.

About the setup, yes you're right, it only works if you have MSN Messenger installed in C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger.

A solution to your problem is to create a folder and name it Program Files and let the setup install Gant MSN to 'C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\' and then copy msnmsgr.exe, msglang.dll, and lvback.gif to your MSN Messenger directory. You can delete the folder you created afterwards. Hope this helps.

The link for GANT Emoticons isn't working.

Yes I have removed the link temporarily while I create a patch that would install Gant emoticons, because some users complained about not liking the Gant emoticons as the default emoticons. This way I leave you the choice of installing Gant emoticons or no:):)

Does this installer install MSN Plus! too? Because I don't want MSN Plus! ...

No it doesn't.

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
