If you mean that you are using 7.0 and want to update to Y!M 9.0 the best thing to do is to do a complete uninstall of Y!M first.

Please note that doing a clean uninstall of Yahoo Messenger will erase your message archives so read here about how to copy them http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messeng…
If you are using Vista or Windows 7 and do not know the path then do a search from the start menu for your archives. They are saved in the format YahooID.dat for example if my Yahoo ID is true_colors, it would be true_colors.dat. And you can easily find the path from there.
First uninstall Yahoo! Messenger through add/remove programs.
If you want to do a total clean uninstall of Yahoo Messenger then also navigate to Program Files on your hard drive and delete the Messenger folder inside of the Yahoo Folder. Follow this path (XP): My Computer>>C: drive>>Program Files>>Yahoo>>Messenger. I do not know the path for Windows 7. Reboot your computer (important!).
It is important that now you REBOOT your computer. Now download and install Yahoo messenger again using the following link:
Full Installer for Yahoo Messenger 9.0.0.2162http://download.yimg.com/ycs/msg/dl/msgr… -
One of the problems with trying to install Yahoo 9 is that its prone to corruption by old software left behind by the uninstall process
If you have “Speedbit video accelerator” on your computer, uninstall. (It has known conflicts with Yahoo.)
When downloading/uploading close all other programs.
I suggest you download and run ccleaner first before you proceed further. Run it through a couple of times – include “registry” from the left hand toolbar. Do not be alarmed at the amount of files you have to delete, especially if you do not clear it on a regular basis.
Use this path to uninstall and remove the old messenger software.
> Start > Computer > Local disk (C) > Program files > Yahoo > Messenger > UNWISE.
UNWISE is the command that starts uninstall. Select the automatic option if prompted. If you have Vista make sure the old messenger folder is clear before moving on to download. If you have Pre-Vista OS do not delete the Profile sub-folder ( it contains your message Archives ). I run Messenger 9 with no problems although I read reports that its problematic That’s because its not been installed cleanly. Yahoo tell us its the best version to operate behind a firewall and the version they are concentrating on to cure the sign in problems.
Check in the Messenger folder after uninstalling to make sure no fragments of software remain that will create conflicts with the incoming software.( Except the Profile subfolder.) Delete fragments manually if required by right clicking on them and deleting
