Plus! 4.9 by Chattanooga on 07-31-2011 at 11:34 AM
Hello. Why can't I download version 4.9 on the main downloads page anymore? The setup file still shows as "MsgPlusLive-490.exe", but it's actually version 5.

Try the following link, seems to be an error with the link.

Ah, many thanks. Freaked out for a moment!

The reason that when you click on 4.9, you may get 5.0 is because it works as a smart installer, choosing the appropriate version, according to your computer.

well i guess the installer isnt that smart then 
lol
Just give the option to download whichever they want 
(of course 5.X should be the main download but there should be an alternative smaller link to download 4.9, considering it's still usable 
)

It has been reported and fixed
