Slimy Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) To all mods: I believe that links should not be removed as the appropriate login is still needed to use this build. Anyone can download it anyways, only beta testers can login. edit: Damn I'm loving the sign in popups, so much better than the last build :yes: Edited March 1, 2006 by slimy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg098 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 If that is true, then please remove the link. It is only meant to help out the people who are having problems installing it, but if it breaks any rules then please delete the link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerxes Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I'm an offical Windows Live Messenger BETA tester and it doesn't install on my computer :/ it constantly says I need to upgrade (but I have) I tried restarting the computer like has been suggested but Messenger insists I need to upgrade before I use it, but I did! :wacko: EDIT: I've even tried a repair installation of the new version and it still tells me to upgrade, gonna try completely removing it and installing the newer one, hopfully that works!

Nexus- Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 No links please no no links are allowed because everyone the invitees and the managed beta testers get this. second if your not in either of those groups you cant run it so whats the harm none? also the provided link was helpful to me because i did the automatic update and it didnt work. THus i would have had to download it again and quickly dug thru my temp files to get the installer before removing the older beta build. He saved me trouble :) clicking the link was much faster and the stupid music bug is still there lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xpgeek Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Need A-Patch !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJerman Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) If it wont install on your system, here is what you do: Since we cannot post links here, the fix is simple. Uninstall your current version, apparently this version doesn't like updating from 562. After you have uninstalled it, install the old original build from ideas.live.com. When that build starts, it will want to upgrade, let it. This time, it wont keep asking to update. Either that, or apparently others are saying you can restart to fix it, I haven't tried that though, I know my method works. I've posted full instructions on my blog: http://extended64.com/blogs/ajerman/archiv...02/28/2121.aspx Edited March 1, 2006 by Betaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewhaji Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Overall this seems to be a slight improvement over build 562. Signing in was MUCH quicker, and the colour scheme is better (albeit a bit too bright; they need to lower the brightness a little). I had no problems installing this build. I read on connect.microsoft.com that you had to uninstall build 562, so I did that, restarted my computer (as you always should after installing/uninstalling something) and then installed the new build. Easy as pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
