Jon Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 What happens if you install the version from http://messenger.msn.co.uk/download/download2.asp ? I remember reading that installing the wrong version causes problems...(?) Point is, if we deploy with IM removed, and someone runs remote assistance, reinstalls IM, via that link, are they going to mess up their machine?

aco Veteran Posted October 3, 2001 Veteran Share Posted October 3, 2001 I'll try it :D I uninstalled it a while back and I don't really care if it stuffs my machine. I'm going to format it soon ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/2076-reinstalling-instant-messenger/#findComment-11246 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted October 3, 2001 Author Share Posted October 3, 2001 I've just installed 3.6, it seems to have not messed up the machine, but I cant actually use it, corporate firewalls/proxies etc :) Thanks Aco, that will be helpfull!

aco Veteran Posted October 3, 2001 Veteran Share Posted October 3, 2001 This is strange. When I opened the installer it told me I could not install Messenger because I already had another newer version installed? :s I have totally uninstalled the original messenger, disabled it, etc. oh well, sorry I can't be of much help :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/2076-reinstalling-instant-messenger/#findComment-11254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted October 3, 2001 Author Share Posted October 3, 2001 Heh, got 3.6 installed here, but remote support etc doesnt recognise it as being installed, and I cant find a way to reinstall 4. Bit of an issue there i think, in a corporate environment. Ta for the help!
