| | question on windoews live messenger 8.5 was there a later version of 8.5 released? because I only seem to be able to get the version 8.5 1302.1018. I have tried downloading the 12.0.1471.205 that said it was released on 11/15/07 where as the other one said it was released on 11/08 of 07. I have done a reinstall on this but it just reverts back to the 1302.1018. -- Four Generations Of Trust And Betrayal...One Legacy Skywolfe |

Note that it's not uncommon for Microsoft to update the dates on these things, as they can get resigned with a later digital signature. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Rage Skywolfe" <RageSkywolfe@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:B8B5E230-5D00-4796-829F-57C28F520932@xxxxxx Quote: > was there a later version of 8.5 released? because I only seem to be able to > get the version 8.5 1302.1018.

| | Re: question on windoews live messenger 8.5 Hi Rage, I see what you're talking about now. There is no 12.x versions of Messenger, but the other Windows Live "2008" products were 12.x versions, that's why it's listed on the "Windows Live" download as 12.x and on the Messenger page as 8.5. It's not until 2009 that the version numbers were synced up, and why Messenger got pushed to 14.x (13 being considered unlucky). I had actually forgotten all about that, so thanks for the reminder. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Rage Skywolfe" <RageSkywolfe@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:23CD372C-B1DF-473E-9B72-F897408DF324@xxxxxx Quote: > I found it on the download center site actually if you go to product families > and windows live you will find the two dates for windows live messenver > (version2008) listed there. > -- > Four Generations Of Trust And Betrayal...One Legacy > > Skywolfe > > > "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" wrote: > Quote: >> Hi Rage, >> >> Not that I recall.
