Two Msn's*

[lindafisher1982]

I installed awhile back msn ver 6.0 and now I have both versions (the 6.0 and the 4.7)
How do I get rid of the 4.7 version without screwing up the 6.0
thank you for your help, linda

Go into add/remove programs> Add/Remove windows components.>Select messanger

I went into add/remove windows components and I saw that messenger was checked off so I unchecked and it didnt revove messenger. I retsarted the computer and it still is there. I am afraid to uncheck all the programmes that are checked in case something happens.
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? thanks, linda

You may have to remove v6.0 First, I don't know

Save this text as a .bat file and then run it....

Quote:

@echo off
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
@echo REGEDIT4>%TMP%\RemoveMsgr.reg
@echo.>>%TMP%\RemoveMsgr.reg
@echo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express]>>%TMP%\RemoveMsgr.reg
@echo "Hide Messenger"=dword:00000002>>%TMP%\RemoveMsgr.reg
@echo.>>%TMP%\RemoveMsgr.reg
regedit /s %TMP%\RemoveMsgr.reg

I normally save it as RemoveMsgr.bat

You will then be without Messenger 4.7

You can then reinstall v6.0 if you need to...

Hope it helps...

use xplite

un-install the newest version 1st then the older one

also

make sure all files and registry keys are gone and re-boot when and if needed
