Only thing missing is the complete and exact version of Windows Live Messenger and if you're using 32bit or 64 bit of Windows.



Anyways, to answer your question/remark: Win7 doesn't really know there is a new version though. That error is just a 'standard' message you get when there is some kind of dodgy error (now the only question remains is _what_ exact error/bug - and I suspect that's a hard one to crack). So, the message wasn't especially made for this version though, it existed already long ago. Proof of that, for example, is that the message still speaks of 'Patchou' who isn't affiliated anymore with Plus! and that it links to the old domain msgpluslive.com.

ugh.... what I was afraid of.... This is yet another 'bug' involving 64bit... Seems like the problems for 64bit are rapidly stacking up....

Yes, because obviously this issue is related to Windows being 64bit, everyone using Win64 has it, and nobody on Win32 does...

I'm on
Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
Windows Live Messenger 15.4.1109
Messenger Plus! 5.01.0.706

No problems like this..

lol... panic attack... But I'm not just talking about this issue though. What I'm saying is that it is striking that so many problems are being reported and most of them happen on Win7 64bit. It might not be directly the fault of Plus! itself, it can be WLM 2011 not being quite compatible with 64bit too though, but the least you could say is that some pattern is emerging here.

But there is no indication at all this is related to 64bit, at least not this particular issue. It is a very rare issue. I've seen is been reported once before, not sure which OS version it was in that case.

* Menthix hopes Windows 8 will be 64 bit only so we can settle this debate once and for all .

No ofcourse not. So are all those other reported issues not related to 64bit for 100% sure. I'm just saying that it is striking that most of the time, if someone reports something, he/she is using 64bit. Aka, there are less reports of problems from people using 32bit than people using 64bit.

Could also mean everybody is switching to 64bit on mass. But I somehow doubt that strongly.
