What version of MSN/Windows Messenger are you using (you can check by going to 'Help > About Messenger')?


RE: Install MsgPlus on win98 SE version by Chris4 on 07-22-2008 at 08:19 AM

To use Messenger Plus! 3.63.148 on Windows 98, you need "MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger 4.7, 5, 6 or 7".

If you're using anything above that (i.e. Windows Live Messenger) then you need to uninstall it and downgrade to an earlier version.

You cannot use WLM on 98 ;) lol

Hmm, well there's a similar thread "Compatible" Version (Win98/MSN7.0), but it's unresolved. :(

The link is direct to other forum when I click the download item.

O yeah, so it is. I just Google'd it. I can't find it unfortunately.

Beta versions are very rarely released officially to the public.

Download and install the latest C++ Redistributables.

Also clear your temporary internet files and try and redownload it. If it still doesn't work I will see what I can figure out later tonight.


It is looking like Visual Studio 2008 doesn't support Windows 95, 98, ME, and NT within the compiled code.
