Good evening,

it’s not everyday that I find myself recompiling an old friend. Messenger Plus! 3 had been recompiled early this year with Visual Studio 2008 and because I do not test any of my products in Windows 98 anymore, I had the bad surprise today to learn that VS2008 does not produce compatible binaries for older operating systems. Long story short, it meant that Messenger Plus! 3 couldn’t be installed on some older versions of Windows while it should have.

The problem has been fixed so if you’re one of those still forced to use Windows 98 or Windows Me on a regular basis, you can now download the updated version of Messenger Plus! 3 on this web site which will continue to work beautifully with MSN Messenger.

Good to know you think of everyone and not just XP and Vista users - I myself, had forgotten about MP!3...

Wow and here I thought this was an old thread that someone bumped

Well good to see you are all for backwards compatibility That is a rare thing these days.

* warmth was thinking the same as Willz

Glad its fixed

I was surprised when I came across that info from another site. I think it was actually VirtualDub that had the problem originally and thats where I saw it. Then confirmed it on Microsoft. Pitcho did you get the mobile message I sent you about the problem?

Updated the version in my DB

LOL does MP!3 still exist?

I forgot about it.. in fact, how many people still use Windows 98 or Windows ME? Probably < 0,1% of all users..

I would love some statistics (if possible) of MP!L users versus MP! users with respect to a) the number in each category b) the OSes used and c) the WLM/MSN versions used

alright aNILEator, lemme check...

These days, 505,000 people use Messenger Plus! 3.

51% of those are on Windows 2000, 41% on Windows XP, 5% on Windows 98, 2% on Windows Me. 30% of them have a Visa card, roughly 60% have a password that has 6 characters or less, ....

Glad to see you still care about those users, there was someone the other day who had this exact problem.
