Jonathan:
I have installed MSN Messenger 6.1 twice now, and get the same error message
each time. The error message reads:
"Could not find file MsnMsgs.msi".
I can't find the file anywhere in my computer either. I can just click OK,
and 6.1 installs.
What is that file, do I need it, and if so, where can I get it?
Thanks.
Bill
 
Greetings Bill,

The msnmsgs.msi is actually the main installation file for MSN Messenger 6.1 (the setup
executable simply extracts it). Although it could be used at a later date for a
reinstallation of Messenger (without having to redownload it), there's no requirement to have
it to run MSN Messenger 6.1. I'm not quite sure why you're seeing the problem, but if it the
client works, most likely there will be a new version of MSN Messenger (6 or otherwise) in
any event that you need to reinstall it (so having a copy of the installation file really
isn't that necessary).

Thanks Jonathan. I don't understand it either. But, Messenger seems to
work OK (except for the gaming problem in my other post)
Bye for now.
