Delete you internet cache and download from a mirror like http://www.feluowns.com/MsgPlusLive-401.exe.
Was 4.0.0.240 even released to public ?
The only version released to the public were
1. Messenger Plus! Live 4.00.234
2. Messenger Plus! Live 4.00.235
3. Messenger Plus! Live 4.01.240

The file itself is reported by Windows to be version 4.0.0.240, but that is only because the field used by Windows to get the version number wasn't updated properly.
VS_VERSION_INFO (used by the tooltips in Windows Explorer)
File Version: 4.0.0.240
Product Version: 4.0.0.240
StringFileInfo (used by the File Properties in Windows Explorer -right click file > properties-)
FileVersion: 4, 01, 0, 240
ProductVersion: 4, 01, 0, 240
To clearly identify a file you need to make a hash of it.
The MD5 hash of the latest version (4.01.240) is: 371d1c3eaabb6a069ac3d5726181bff6
The CRC32 hash is: 34476661
You can check this using programs like HashCalc or the likes (Google for more, the net is full of them).
