upgrading msn messenger and messenger plus by Philbee on 07-30-2005 at 01:24 PM

hi.  i have a question wiuth regards to upgrading msn messenger and messenger plus.  if i were to upgrade msn messenger (to 7.5 when it is released) do i uninstall messenger plus, install the new version of msn messenger, and then re-install messenger plus?  or do i do nothing with messenger plus and just update msn messenger?

thanks in advance.  i have wondered about this for a long time.

I'm not sure... but I think you just install MSN Messenger... MSG Plus! will automatically hook itself to it...

Installing the update/upgrade over your current installation should be fine. I personally install a-new because I don't just sit on MSN Messenger and chat, I usually try to crash Plus!, test it, find bugs etc. even if it's no longer in beta.
