Where to store Install_Messenger.exe (Windows Messenger 4.7)?

[AlBundy33]

I think the topic says enough. ;-)

BTW: Is there a tool which displays ALL (security, optional, ...) installed and not installed hotfixes without activation?

--> I test my HFSlip-CD in VMWare Player and don't want to activate this copy on every test.

Windows Messenger is a program and not an Windows hotfix. You'll need to make a silent installer for it.

To check updates, I've been using an old version of hfnetchk and Tomcat76's script. Works like a champ and it doesn't need IE or any browser at all.

I know MSN Messenger is not a hotfix - but it is an update. ;-)

The HFNet-script works but it doesn't show the optional updates. :-/

I suppose you're talking about MSN Messenger or Live Messenger; Windows Messenger 4.7 is part of Windows XP.

You'll need to extract Install_Messenger.exe and place the MSI files you wish to have in HFSVCPACK_SW (HFSVCPACK_SW1 in current release candidate). MsnMsgs.msi is the core app; the rest are addons.
