@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.
