RE: Doesn't download the right version
I think the problem is that 4.21 doesn't know about the existence of 8.5. It simply doesn't detect 8.5 as Live Messenger, so it thinks you only have only Windows Messenger and downloads the old version.

It would be different when somebody has 4.21 installed, in that case it will disable itself on 8.5 and download 4.23 when it does an update check. However, during setup it doesn't do an update check.

Only way to fix this thing in future versions would be to preform an update check when Plus! can't detect any version of Live Messenger being installed... If there is an update, download that one and run it, if there isn't do the usual thing and offer to download 3.63.
Finish the problem
