O.P. Where can I find the downloaded installation of Messenger?
You know when Messenger tells you that you that your version is outdated and you need to download the latest version or whatever and then it proceeds to download the update itself? Where does the installation download to in case I need it for backup and dont want to download it again once I format? Thanks

I don't know, but you can find the lastest release of MSN Messenger at http://messenger.msn.com/

Generally this is the same as the update.

I'm not quite sure.  I think the newer messengers download to some tempory folder and are deleted after the installation.  Best thing to do is get the latest version once you format from the main messenger site.  While your waiting you can always use the web based version from http://webmessenger.msn.com
