Installation/Configuration MSN Messenger

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.messenger (More info?)

Hi,

Following the installation of WindowsXP SP2 the MSN plug-in functionality
for Windows Messenger no longer works.

Unfortunately, we have committed to the business that this functionality
will be provided and so we need to upgrade to MSN Messenger, while retaining
Windows Messenger (With login disabled).

I have been unable to find corporate deployment information for MSN
Messenger 7.0 including:

1. Deployment Instaructions on how to install silently while removing
default installation options (ie MSN Toolbar etc)
2. White Paper or similar with configuration options (Group Policy /
Preferences references in Registry etc.)
3. Advantages of upgrading from Windows Messenger 4.7 to 5.1

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. There is reams of information
about Messenger at Microsoft.com, but I am finding it next to impossible to
track down the above.

Regards,

Phillip Aston.

It appears I should have posted this to the microsoft.public.msn.messenger
newsgroup, which I have now done.
