O.P. Can not install any version of Msg Plus
Hi,
i asked help on the chat rooms but none to answer there, so i try my luck here ...hope i can get help from you coz i'm getting crazy.
I used any version of Msg Plus without any problem for my last 2 years.
Today i wanted to update my version with the last one, but my Eset antivirus kept blocking it and delete it.
After some search, i guess the one i used was the fake version ( ex:Messenger Plus! Live 4.0.2006.0566) so i unistalled it and was looking for Messenger Plus! Live 4.90.392 on the official site to download it and replacing with the old one.
Maybe more then 10 times i download it (located here ) and everytime i try to install it it gives me this error :"MsgPlusLive_490.exe is not a valid Win32 application"
So i gave up and try to download and install the older version "MsgPlus3 3.63.1.148"- this is Patch version.
When i open my Messenger nothing is there but in my Programs is it already stored. ( i mention this version works perfectly on my other PC and i just copied from there to my laptop)
I tried all the other versions and  i can not install any of it I don't understand where is the problem ?
I use Windows XP pack3  on Dell laptotp with Eset Smart Security 4.0.474.0
Kindly waiting for a solution

Temporarily disable Eset while you are downloading and if the dialog box comes up just say ignore.

What version of Windows Live Messenger are you using?

Messenger Plus! 3.63 will not work with any version of Windows Live Messenger newer than version 8.0

As matty said, try disabling the anti-virus/firewall software before you download and re-enable it after it has installed.

You may need to clear your Internet cache also as the file download may have failed and it is trying to give you that copy rather than download it from the Messenger Plus! servers.
