RE: [Request] Get contact's messenger version
All of messenger's network traffic goes through Messenger Discovery's socket hook. So yes, it is very likely that it looks at the Client ID.

Ok, it is possible, but how to make a script which can recognize this information? 
A script is only used or one needs another programs?  |

Sorry to drag this thread back up, but it was never really clear whether this feature impossible using only a script?
I notice as well there's a messenger clone called aMSN that can do this as well as Msg Discovery.

RE: [Request] Get contact's messenger version
To read the sockets, you can use Xniff. It's an API which you can use in your scripts, to read/edit socket information. Search the forums for examples.
Here's one, from Pai: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=64230
From there, you can probably find the Client ID Steve's talking about
I don't know the Messenger protocol well.. But you can find enough information over at MSNPiki. It's a Wiki about the Messenger protocol.
And yes, it should be possible to do this with a script.

neither can.
What they do is not getting the client version, as that is impossible; the protocol does not support that.
What they do is getting the so called 'client id'. This is a number which represents what the client can do (and what not). But it does not indicate a version number at all. Although you could 'guess' what client version they are using based upon the supported features returned by the 'client id', but this is in no way a garantueed method.

I guess that could be it... although aMSN has had a 100% success rate so far... admittedly it's only been tried with my mates who have MSN 7.5 and WLM 8.0 though, which I suppose would work well with the method you suggested.
could be getting it from the client id

# 0x10000000: This is the value for MSNC1 (MSN Msgr 6.0)
# 0x20000000: This is the value for MSNC2 (MSN Msgr 6.1)
# 0x30000000: This is the value for MSNC3 (MSN Msgr 6.2)
# 0x40000000: This is the value for MSNC4 (MSN Msgr 7.0)
# 0x50000000: This is the value for MSNC5 (MSN Msgr 7.5)
# 0x60000000: This is the value for MSNC6 (WL Msgr 8.0)
# 0x70000000: This is the value for MSNC7 (WL Msgr 8.1)

It probably uses this yes, but that doesn't mean it is waterproof.
Eg: it is possible for a client to use a previous protocol version. Also, third party clients use those IDs values, and it speaks for its own that those are not "msn messenger" or "window live messenger" version something. It just means they are compatible with protocol version something and support certain features (or not).
