Add-in for hotmail

Posted: 10-15-2003, 05:15 AM
I've just downloaded Windows Messenger 5. Do I need to
install an add-in to have access to Hotmail?

Greetings Diane,

No -- Windows Messenger 5 does not support the Hotmail integration features in anyway. To
get this feature back, you'll either need to install and use MSN Messenger 6
(http://messenger.msn.com/Download) or go back to Windows Messenger 4.7. To do so, click
Start, then Run, type (or copy/paste) the following:
msiexec.exe /x {ABEB838C-A1A7-4C5D-B7E1-8B4314B10138}
and then click OK.

Then, you can reinstall Windows Messenger 4.7 from here:

After installing Windows Messenger 4.7, you'll need the MSN Add-In (Add-Ins are not supported
in Windows Messenger 5):

But what if I need to be connected with Exchange Server IM. 4.7 does not
work with Exchange so I must upgrade to 5 and I would countinue to be
informed about hotmail message..

Hi,

Unfortunately then you have to use two clients -- Windows Messenger 5 for connecting to your
Exchange IM server, and MSN Messenger 6 to connect to the .NET Messenger Service.
