The first version worked but I still have an error about the .cache files. The logfile says:

Does the files exist?. If not I will have to add a check for the files before loading the list.
Yes the files do exist in separate maps with really long names such as "b6a186061c97e6d"
Does that give you a clue?

Then I made an extra map according to the ini file and placed the dw20shared.msi in there and now it works great!
Thanks for the good work Benners!

It could be. I have only tested this on 32bit Windows ( I can't really support 64bit). I tried to use Virtualbox to create a 64bit VM on the 32bit system, I think it is supposed to be allowed, but when the setup process finishes loading all the drivers my machine always reboots, so I ditched that. I use reg.exe to export the reg file as it is quicker, but this could be changed, and I am not sure whether reg.exe works on 64bit. As for the buttons, again I am unsure, it could be the 64bit. Does the red cross at the top of the GUI not close the program?.
Can anybody else confirm that this prog is useless on 64bit?

Glad it's sorted. I have added a file check on the msi's as they are added to the list. If the missing MSI is a required one the process will stop. If it is an optional one then the list will load, the missing MSI will not be added and an error will be logged.

Looking at it though should the cache folder be over 300mb in size that doesnt sound right?

I removed Windows Live Sign-In Assistant, Windows Live Upload Tool, and dwshared and it seems to be working fine? (bit worried as just read the helpfile says these are needed?)

Hi Xeijin, thanks for the feedback. I did some testing a while back and on a fresh VM image I only needed the messenger and contacts to successfully sign in. I did not use any of the other features like video call etc so I don't know if there would have been any errors or if thats what the extra files were needed for. I used the guide by elajua to ensure compatibility and it mentions those msi's as needed so I left it like that. If you have no problems using WLM that's great and maybe the program can be changed to create smaller SFX's by reducing the required msi's.

Thanks for the feedback. As long as MS don't change the properties, the program should work for future versions of WLM.

Awesome m8 there is also a new version of A Patch which is compatable with the new version of WLM but im assuming this is already included since it worked but i did it with a pre patched version.

The latest patch is included. To see the current patch version look on the about tab. The blue text is also a link to the A-Patch web page.

There is an option to uninstall Windows Live Messenger in the Add\Remove programs.

Hi picelec
Thanks for reporting this. I didn't think anybody was using the translation file. The label problem has been sorted, I'll add it to the next build. Are all the other labels and controls displaying the full\correct text?.
Regarding the passport, there was a small problem calculating the IS number but I thought that I had sorted it. I have tried it here with 2 different emails and both give the correct number. Are you using the latest build?.
If you would like you can PM me with the email and the ID that it should be and I will check what the problem is.
Thanks

No Probs. If you could post or PM your lng file after translation I can adjust any text that does not fit. I translated (Google) random strings to into the main languages French, German, Italian etc to test the layout but not all were done in each language.
Thanks
