and pskill :

about the name of the .exe file: i forgot that
if you rename your file to "msgplus.exe" or something like that the installer won't work at it has said before. althought you can search in download.com (i think that's the site), there it's a copy of msgplus latest version named to setup.exe and works.

and about the new version a quote from the main site

Messenger Plus! 3.20 is on its way! - 14/09/2004
After 3 months of waiting, a new version of Messenger Plus! is finally going to be released. As I explained in my last news, I've been very busy during the summer and I wanted to make sure that the new release was worth the wait. Messenger Plus! 3.20 will officially be released Sunday, 19th of September and will contain various improvements you won't want to miss

it appears that the next version will be a great update

@enuffsaid i tried taskill until using pskill but doesn't work good with msgplus and msgr

My comment was geared towards MCT anyway. It works for me and should work for others.

If pskill makes you happy, be my guest.

MsgPlus 3.20
Changelog

Silent Installation:

REG ADD %KEY%\026 /VE /D "MSN Messenger 6" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\026 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\MSN\MsnMsgs.msi /qb" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\027 /VE /D "MSN Messenger Plus! 3" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\027 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\MsgPlus\MsgPlus Setup.exe /SilentInstallNoSponsor" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\027 /V 2 /D "pskill.exe MsgPlus.exe" /f

lot of new features (specially nice have your contacts on your desktop) and now you can rename the installer.

[enuffsaid]

"floating contacts" is still a buggy feature. If you come back from a system standby, your contacts may disappear. With a little more work this could turn out to be a nice feature.

Thank heavens he fixed the advertisement banner bug.

[drcreek]

to convert this to a start.cmd file do i just make it

ECHO.
ECHO Installing Messenger Plus
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\MsgPlusSetup.exe /SilentInstallNoSponsor
taskkill.exe /F /IM MsgPlus.exe
taskkill.exe /F /IM msnmsgr.exe

[MCT]

yes

Hi,

I installed msn plus with the hereby mentionned runonceex command, I dbl checked, it's similar except I kept the original filename for messenger plus.

The problem: 1 over 3 installations gets an error, and when getting in windows for the first time after runonceex is done and rebooted, well an error occurs, the cpu reboots again, and then when back to windows it says something about repairing msgplus installation... that sucks and is not constant. What is causing this error?

[Alpheratz13]

Evening,

Perhaps an stupide question , but what is Pskill and Taskkill, what are they doing?
What is they job?
What do i risk with those progs?

Thanks

Irving

[SiMoNsAyS]

Pskill and Taskkill are used to terminate open processes. so messenger isn't openned after the installation.

[Alpheratz13]

ah ok thanks for your replay


@SiMoNsAyS
Can i question something to you, but something different than msg?

[SiMoNsAyS]

@Alpheratz13 of course just PM me or if you don't know how just post it here (a little offtopic doesn't do any damage )

Hi,

It's okay, i found the answer on my question
Thanks.
But if you can help me (still about with Msgplus)
How do i default language in French?
I look at the registre but don't found, do you know it?
Second question, since i put Msgplus like this :

REG ADD %KEY%\045 /VE /D "MSN Messenger 6.2" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\045 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Messenger62\MsnMsgs.msi /qb" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\046 /VE /D "MSN Messenger Plus! 3.20" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\046 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\MsgPlus320\MsgPlus-320.exe /SilentInstallNoSponsor" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 2 /D "pskill.exe MsgPlus.exe" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 3 /D "pskill.exe msnmsgr.exe" /f

The Msn Messenger 6.2 are running after install.
Commande line before was :

REG ADD %KEY%\045 /VE /D "MSN Messenger 6.2" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\045 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Messenger62\MsnMsgs.msi /qn" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\045 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\Messenger62\messengeroff.reg" /f

and the messengeroff.reg :

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 

;remove MSN Messenger from start-up
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"MsnMsgr"=-

If you can see switch was before yours /qn (i don't know what is the different between /qb and /qn).

What do i wrong?
What i said before, Msg 6 is running after finish the Unattend install.

Thanks for your help.

Irving

[SiMoNsAyS]

for setting your language on msgplus3 as enuffsaid ,

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2]
"LanguageFile"="Lang_Espanol (Espana).ini"

just go to your lang dir and check how it's named the ini file for your language, then replace that string.

now be sure that pskill kills the process until launching this reg file,

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"MsnMsgr"=-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"MessengerPlus3"=-

this will remove startup entries for msgplus and msgr, you can put together all the tweaks and call the .reg file like

REG ADD %KEY%\045 /VE /D "MSN Messenger 6.2" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\045 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Messenger62\MsnMsgs.msi /qb" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\046 /VE /D "MSN Messenger Plus! 3.20" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\046 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\MsgPlus320\MsgPlus-320.exe /SilentInstallNoSponsor" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 2 /D "pskill.exe MsgPlus.exe" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 3 /D "pskill.exe msnmsgr.exe" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\046 /V 4 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\MsgPlus320\MsgPlus.reg"

now differences between /qn and /qb. if you launch your .msi with /? switch a little help can point you the difference. /qb (quiet basic display), will display a progress bar while installing. /qn (quiet no display) won't display anything, it's transparent to the user. hope it can helps

[Alpheratz13]

Thanks for your help

I will look at it and let you know.

thanks you.

Irving

[Alpheratz13]

Evening,
@SiMoNsAyS :
I like to thank you for your help and let you know it's works great , except

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2]
"LanguageFile"="Lang_Francais.ini"

It's don't works for me,
perhaps i have do all tree of [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou] with all my preferences and paths

What do you think?
Is possible whole tree of [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou], if yes, i put the same .reg as MsgPlus.reg??

I'll waiting for your answer.

Irving

[Alpheratz13]

Hi again,

It's works
Thanks to SiMoNsAyS

It's don't start automatic, cool.
But, they are BUT, i try explain what i mean with (but),

Ok, everythings are fine, it's dont start the progamme, (here come the but),
If you open Messenger 6.2 and go to your preferences/General you don't touch anything, you cancel the preferences and you reboot your computer, after reboot, the messenger go open..do a try and you see what i mean.

Because in the registre you see this :

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"MsnMsgr"=-

that's is ok, but if you go to the preferences/General of messenger you see the case "start automatic with Windows" (perhaps in english are different words) enable, you see?
That's way when you open the preferences and even you do nothing at all only seeing, so is more half automatic.

Perhaps i have wrong, but i found that why case in preferences/General is still enable not disable.

So someone has an idee?

Irving

PS, sorry for my bad explain/english
PS, of course i tested in VMware Workstation, so i don't know if is also in the real windows install, i test that too soon.
