O.P. Plus! 4.9
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.

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.

That shouldn't happen. The user should be allowed to install whichever version they please not Yuna telling them which one is most suitable.

So you're telling me, when the user explicitly downloads 4.9, you guys think he actually wants 5.0?

I seem to smell a little herp in the derp.

well i guess the installer isnt that smart then :zippy: 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 :p)

Agreed. There should be options to at least get to 4.9 and 3.x when people want to. Else http://www.msgplus.net/Downloads/MsgDetailDownload is broken and backwards compatibility lost.
Finish the problem

Geez, no kidding. Why do software developers always do this?
