Uninstalling Infopen Pro! by ribber_frog on 07-10-2004 at 04:59 PM
When You Uninstall Infopen Pro [ off mess.be ] it screws up messenger!
i installed it to have a look @ the features.... and it slowed my system down.. alot... so.. i tryed to uninstall it...
all looked ok.. all looked good...
until i restarted my computer and ran messenger.
i get this error:
quote:
Licence Failure
Unexpected error
Your licence file must be damaged, please reinstall the software
note: this is when i run msnmsgr.exe
so that totaly stops messenger from eaven starting.
i have found a way to get it to run, but i still get error messages when starting!
to get it to run i changed the name of some vp.dll file in the messenger dir.
i changed it to
quote:
vp.dll_
the program runs, but you still get another error:
quote:
msnmsgr.exe - Unable to locate component
This application has failed to start because VP.DLL was not found. re-installing the application may fix this problem
and that pops up about 30 times....
now... if any1 else has tryed uninstalling it yet, and it actually worked.. it would be useful to know as i havent tryed uninstalling it on any other system apart from my own.

You should probably un-install MSN Messenger and then Re-install it.
Infopen tricks MSN into thinging that you need INK and probably edits some files that MSN Messenger uses. Then un-installs them when it un-installs.

Well , Did you change the VP.DLL_ back to VP.DLL?

InfoPenIM.exe is still running!

RE: Uninstalling Infopen Pro! by ~INVASION~ on 07-10-2004 at 05:44 PM
all i did was Start > Program files > InfoPen > uninstall and rebooted.
Is that how u did it?
RE: Uninstalling Infopen Pro! by ribber_frog on 07-10-2004 at 05:47 PM
thats exactly what i did
the uninstaller didnt delete a startup entry in the registry for InfoPenIM.exe, and also didnt delete over 1.5mb of the infopen pro files.
wonder what else it left sitting on my system...

so far i have found:
- a 'My InfoPenMSN' folder in my docs
- Registry Entries:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\InfoKing
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\InfoKing\InfoPenMSN\History
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\InfoKing\InfoPenMSN\LANGUAGEID
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\InfoKing\InfoPenMSN\MSN_STATE
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\InfoKing
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-57989841-548756985-682003330-1001\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\Start Menu\Programs\InfoPenMSN
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Management\ARPCache\InfoPenMsnPRO
i'm not sure how relavent the last registry address is... its got the words 'InfoPenMsnPRO' in it tho 
i will keep looking for stuff...

It seems that you didn't uninstall InfoPen at all... Try to install it again, reboot, and uninstall it again...
btw, there is no vp.dll into the original messenger directory...
