Does the 4gb dummy file exist in this version? The last WLM build I tried .0365 had it.

[eilegz]

well im trying this beta its good it got finally offline msg like icq and yahoo messenger.

Too bad that from msn 7.5 users cant send me a offline msg =/ cant try that option

Msgplus dont work neither well lets see what its the new, the gui itself its very bloated easily fixed with a-patch, i got no problems so far everything work.

How are we supposed to report bugs against this, the MS Beta Client?

via submit feedback on the program page of connect.

I've got the latest Apatch and I've tried installing it 3 times...

Where is this file located?

EDIT: looks like divertom15 beat me to this question :p

[noroom]

well i downloaded the beta ok im wondering if i can have msn 7,5 and wlm installed both because i would test wlm but other people that use this pc need to access their msn messenger so it wlm replace it they cant use msn anymore. that would be a big problem

Also ? you may want to give invites to people who share your computer, as you won?t be able to have Windows Live Messenger and MSN Messenger installed on the same machine

well before u install WLMsngr beta, make a backup copy of yur current MSN7.5 folder..

so that u'll get two seperate folders each for MSN7.5 and WLMsngr beta afterwards..

this is just my suggestion.. as it works for me when i try it for MSN6 and msn7.5

btw.. i've been invited to Windows Live Mail but no word yet regarding WL Msngr..

and it shud be a bonus for me then, if I got invited for both of these beta

cause they are closely connected.. :cool:

[chrispinto]

Gah and damn.

[NienorGT]

I still waiting for the Download E-Mail...

But a big lol at the Frechie bug :p

(Quoi que je m'en fou personellement... :D)

[brandon.mat]

yah stil no e-mail here (argh)

[furby]

Finally got it to work, silly microsoft. Not sure if this is just Gmail, but i just right clicked-->view source and it was the link that started with

http://ideas.live.com/AcceptInvitation.aspx

and just paste into browser.

Trickiest beta to get hold of for a while ;)

[norseman]

Why does microsoft think that all of our canadians speak french as their first language?

I can't even navigate ideas.live.com because it is all in fr-ca for me!!

[killa19]

It's a bug, and it's the reason why Canadian users haven't been sent out the download emails yet. The page was english for me all day yesterday though(and still is), and I'm in Canada. I find that a bit weird.

Uhh, did you view it in Firefox?

For some reason those links will only appear hyperlinked in IE. :huh:

[brandon.mat]

In connect it says under my participation windows live 8, does this mean im part of the beta? (next step is blank) or do i need to do more, cuz I seem to be the only person who did not get an e-mail yet

[Detroit]

Canada.. Still no d/l mail :<

[brandon.mat]

Canada.. Still no d/l mail :<

[RevoDS]

If we subscribed on Connect, is the link to ideas.live.com or to Connect?

Somebody not in Canada,???

No e-mail for now...(waiting,waiting)
