i need an offline installer to make an addon. that's a live installer

Johndoe74 you can use that web installer and then later retrieve the msi from

BTW here is one I made with Shark007's tutorial that will automatically copy your patched files and also theres an option to reshack the icon for a more vista like one

http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=2025

ricktendo64, your stuff to make your own installer, rules!!!
Thanx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm having problems downloading using that file (maybe cuz i'm behind a proxy). i'd much appreciate if somebody would download and then upload to one of the free uploading sites and link me. thanks!

johndoe74, here you go
http://www.verzend.be/v/440607/PatchedLive...Builder.7z.html

btw johndoe74, change the main title of this topic...

not patched please. the stock installer. and i'll change the title when i have the final addon ready

it isn't, it's the file I downloaded...
just run ricktendo64 bat to create it

johndoe74 the files in my addon builder are not patched, what it does is it gives you the option to copy the patched files from your current messenger and integrates them in the installer overwriting the non patched one in the installer sub dirs

IrfCore I think he is refering to the original MSI from WindowsLiveInstaller\MsiSources\ dir, if somebody who used the online installer can locate it and upload it to him (I deleted mine sorry)

updated to Windows Live Messenger v2008 FINAL v8.5.1302.1018

How do I extract the files of the msi install (the MS msi sourse)
I want to do a swedish version.

I want all the swedish files of the source

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=107232

can u add wlm skin vista ultimate addon thnx

i think its simple.. u only have to make batch file to replace a DLL

1. that dll file is for WLM v8.1, this is WLM v8.5. have you tried it ? will it work or crash ?

2. if you still want it, then i can't download from rapidshare. please upload to some other sites like maybe turboupload or icefile or badongo and then gimme the links.

thanks

i will try it later.. when i find a working skin i upload u..

i just tried this skin (for wlm 8.1) on the above WLM 8.5 and it worked just fine. if those others work as well, i can try and make it for you

i think i like that one even better. (no annoying background)...

wow thnx.. but why is both in one? not that it matters but... if u do that with all addons ur gonna have lots of addons...

few more request to fine tune WLM.. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=107312

what do you mean "both in one" ?

the skin and WLM in one
if u make just a msgres.dll replacer u dont have to remake that addon evry time

the skin crashes convo window? or is it just me?

dunno, i only tried it in an offline installation in a virtual machine

In the new messenger plus live 4.50 is an option to add skins and download skins.

well thats ok but im going to use pidgin from now on

johndoe74

Hey !
It doesn't get installed in the windows,nor it is shown anywhere in the 'Program files'.although,it gets integrated via nlite.
Plz help.

Thanks !

Hey !
yeah it does install,as I was trying to integrate sp3,so I first integrated the wmp11 addon and then integrated the sp3 over it,which must have overwritten the files,well,it has to be the other way round. First integrate sp3 and then integrate all the hotfixes and addons,it works perfect.

Thanks !

Have a nice day

The downloadlink for the dutch addon doesnt work?

Is it possible to get a german version of the Messenger Addon? Thanks a lot ...

added german language addon

Thx a lot ...

It keeps crashing as soon it login with error ? 'Windows Live messanger has encountered an Error neds to close' ?

hey, i'm not the programmer, i just make the addons

Dutch version download is down.. can you please upload it to another server?

Thanks

added mirror for dutch addon

Integrated the Dutch one with nLite, but it doesnt work in my VMware test install.
I dont know why it doesnt work.

just tried it. works fine. maybe you removed some components that were required for messenger to work ? try running the executable inside the svcpack folder in the cab file and see if it installs then

hey johndoe74, is there a way to add other skins to this? for example i'd like to integrate this one http://www.msgplus.net/skins/view/9-Nightfall/ and have it set to default

and

ha well.. thats not exactly what i was asking. i meant is there a way to incorporate it into your addon here and have it set to default so when i integrate it into my build it will already be set up

i don't think i can manage that since the prerequisites of installing that particular type of skin are that messenger live should be installed prior and that you should be online and signed in!

ah ok. well i saw that Vista Aero skin by ~Stianu89 addon you built, (which also requires msgr live i believe- or according to t he deviantart link it does)and i thought maybe it would just be a simple matter of replacing that one with the one i found.. guess not

i had actually forgotten how i made that one but looking here, i found that it only involved replacing a .DLL file (msgsres.dll) and was nowhere near as complicated as the one you want. sorry, i couldn't be of more help

ah ok. before they released that msgr+ thing, people had to reshack wlm to change the look of it. that gives me an idea though

mind sharing ?

btw, messenger plus has been around for ages, i'd guess since the days of messenger 6 (if not earlier), it went live when messenger itself went live

well upon further search it looks like there were two different types. one involved using the resource hacker and i think replacing the msgsres.dll, the other involved using Messenger Plus! Live and associated skins. i was under the impression that before msn mssgr 8.5 if people wanted to make a news skin they had to reshack the .dll

anyways, my thought was to see if i could extract the source images from that plus! skin i linked earlier and see if i could try the ol' school method of reshacking... however it looks like it would be a huge task to undertake. i found an old tutorial here link and here... and..well lol just too much work i think.

meanwhile during all this i found something called "Open Live" link which supposedly makes skinning easier. however it still requires Messenger Plus! Live 4.60 to use

looks like a dead end for me, unless i want to try to do the resource hack thing

i'd guess the msg+live method does the same thing, i.e., reshack the files but only transiently (only in memory rather than on disk) while msg+live is loaded. i had also extracted the skin you linked to but couldn't figure out how to integrate it into messenger. i bet you could reshack the files yourself using the methods given but it will require time - a lot of it

This addon isn`t working for me. Every other addon works but this one isn`t. I see that I`m not alone and I really don`t know why it isn`t working. I even tried putting it to 1st place in all addons but that didn`t change anything. I use Win XP Pro with already integrated SP3. When I extract cab and initiate installation it installs fine. What could be the problem... only thing that is different for my computer from the others is that I install my windows on D partition and I already have another XP Pro installed in C partition.
