Luis.A Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 2 quick tips: For it not to appear always on top go to the tools menu. If install fails go to documents and setting/local data/temp/uk456.exe and run it *** Delete your messenger folder from program files before doing this. And it will install perfectly.

playsk Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Just tested the new live contact info. Click on your Display Picture. Flip your personal contact card. Et voila ! push the Live Contact card to enter your info and select with who you want to share personal or business info NB : Better to select Custom ... to have the choice to enable your infos visible for selected contacts Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/436646-windows-live-messenger-build-0566/page/5/#findComment-587255822 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Eh, it's being a bitch to me too. I'm about to uninstall the connect build and then install the ideas.live build, then try the auto upgrade. Maybe that'll work. it does :p :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/436646-windows-live-messenger-build-0566/page/5/#findComment-587255824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmarE D Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I got the new build to install on the second try. They need to just update the download link on ideas.live.com to this new build. A friend of mine is on his 10th try on updating it right now and still nothing.

Koopie Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 When the download finishes close WLM unistall previous versions..make sure you delete all the contents on MSN Messenger folder. go to your windows temp folder and locate the installer. its about 14 mb and its name is in random letters.

spikey_richie Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Mine has just updated. they seem to have taken 2 steps forward, and 1 step back. The tray icon is back to original msn 7 icon, and stepped side tab has disappeared... looks good though Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/436646-windows-live-messenger-build-0566/page/5/#findComment-587255883 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wutang01 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Finally got it working. Uninstalled 562. Deleted MSN Messenger folder. Installed 365 again. Went to Local Settings\Temp and found the 13.5MB file Installed it. And now 566 :D IMO ... it looks better now. Hope the icons will be replaced. The look is now simplified but still stylish Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/436646-windows-live-messenger-build-0566/page/5/#findComment-587255894 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+M2Ys4U Subscriber¹ Posted March 1, 2006 Subscriber¹ Share Posted March 1, 2006 Old one looked better. Only improvment is the status icons IMO.

Corris Veteran Posted March 1, 2006 Veteran Share Posted March 1, 2006 i much more prefer this one to the earlier one 562 one the whole colouring thing clooks much better, it doesnt ahve that annoying seperation across the top in 562 for the title bar that made some colours horrible it looks much more refined, though i would prefer new icons it sill has that annoying red pixel in the taskbar -_- all in all, much better than the previous two builds in my opinion :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/436646-windows-live-messenger-build-0566/page/5/#findComment-587255916 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralDream Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Well 5x times trying to update, now updated and not that great. Too "white" for me. And even with others colours still white too much. In 562 I complain about those old MSN icon and now it?s even worse LOL. Well I loved that hover effect on first WLM build and with the time going on I think that WLM is going more and more like 7.6 ou 7.7 version but not 8.0 at all. Let?s hope this change. See ya.
