Whats the latest version of Messneger to support Exchange? My corporate
IT used to send out 4.7, but have now stopped listed it for install.
I've also seen a 5.x version too

Most of my clients are XP based, with whatever version comes with XP SP2
or IE6 (I forget the version ids), but these don't support Exchange.

If I install 5.x or 4.7 out to these machines, will it mess them up?
Would WSUS force them back up to "latest" version?

If you can list the download site for the Exchange version I'd
appreciate it.

Adrian
 
Greetings Adrian,

The latest is Windows Messenger 5.1:
http://microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a8d9eb73-5f8c-4b9a-940f-9157a3b3d774

5.1 is an upgrade from 4.x clients (that come with Windows), so that's not an issue.

Jonathan,

Which version comes with XP ? And IE6?
Can install 5.1 onto onto machines with XP/IE6 ?
 
Hi Adrian,

XP comes with various versions of 4.x and various versions of IE6 (all dependant on what
service pack is installed). 5.1 will install on any Windows 2000 or XP installation.

XP Sp2, latest cumulative patches.

I want to deploy messenger via Active Directory - any msi version?
 
Jonathan,

I was using Messenger Plus, but after I install Microsoft spyware, there was
found spyware in messenger plus, and then I uninstall the messenger plus.

What do you think about it?

Regards
 
Hi Darlie,

There is no spyware in Messenger Plus -unless- you install the sponsor. Unfortunately, some
spyware tools like Microsoft AntiSpyware simply look for Plus and mark it as adware (even if
the sponsor isn't installed).
