For the xxth time.. Everybody will get a message window saying you have to update. And if it will be released it will surely be posted on this forum, mess.be, or any other site related to MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger.

You'll receive a auto-update via WLM. Managed testers can expect a email and a newsgroup posting.
I'm on: Twitter, Facebook, and Neowin

Same here :(

I looked on the live ideas site to see if the file was there, but that's still the old one...gah..why don't they give an option to safe the file?

Edit: the second and third time i tried it gave option to either repair or uninstall :mipdodgy:

Hmm on mess.be it says: If your "About" doesn't immediately reflect the new build number, we advise you to restart your PC.

Lets try that..lol...nope no such luck!

* Sunshine gives up..goes to sleep..will try again tomorrow...

For those who have problems updating to the new .566 build...

- Run WLM auto-update first, it might just work for you in one time without doing anything extra.

If it doesn't work (WLM keeps on telling you there is a new version even after you upgraded)

- Some people reported running auto-uppdate again and then choose "Repair" works. This didn't work for me, but you can try it.

This worked for me:
- Run auto-update again, keep the installer open.
- Go to "Start" > "Run..." > Type "%TEMP%" in the box > "OK". Copy - Look for the WLM .566 installer .exe (filename is random, look for filesize around 13 or 14MB).
- Copy the installer to your desktop to make sure it won't get deleted.
- Close the .566 installer.
- Uninstall WLM.
- Run the .566 installer from your desktop.
