Patchou has released a small update for Messenger Plus! 3. Due to it being recompiled early this year with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, it meant that older operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows 98 would not be able to run it. The update corrects this problem and it is now available for download:

It's not everyday that I find myself recompiling an old friend. Messenger Plus! 3 had been recompiled early this year with Visual Studio 2008 and because I do not test any of my products in Windows 98 anymore, I had the bad surprise today to learn that VS2008 does not produce compatible binaries for older operating systems. Long story short, it meant that Messenger Plus! 3 couldn't be installed on some older versions of Windows while it should have.

The problem has been fixed so if you're one of those still forced to use Windows 98 or Windows Me on a regular basis, you can now download the updated version of Messenger Plus! 3 on this web site which will continue to work beautifully with MSN Messenger.
