install data error by somelauw on 01-08-2006 at 12:26 PM
When installing I get this Dutch error:
I will translate it in English:
Messenger plus! Installing data error!
Access to disk has been refused or installinf file has been damaged
Some possibilities to fix the problem are:
Login with administrate rights(I'm the only user)
Install in another directory(I thought it was installed in program files and where else it has to be installed)
Restart computer(already done)
Download from another source(where??????)
After that msn messenger is opened without msnplus functions and when looking for msnplus in the programfiles folder it seems to be installed(but maybe it is not complete)

Clear your cache and download a fresh copy from this site.
Also, when taking a screenshot of something, save it in a different format other than .bmp (e.g. jpg, png, gif). It makes it easy for people on dialup.

I will try it
In the future I will change it in another format, except when a clear screenshot is needed.

A clear/lossless screenshot is in 99,999999999% of all cases never required and in the extremely rare case it is required, use PNG.

If that's not what you meant with clearing cache, could you give me a description how to clear cache?
RE: install data error by linx05 on 01-09-2006 at 08:05 AM
You should never delete the program folder! Always uninstall it properly!
And no, that is not what I meant. I meant clear your cache from IE or Opera or whatever browser you are using. If you don't know how to do that, tell us what browser you are using and then I/someone can walk you through the steps.

I use internet explorer 6, could you please tell me how to clear cache?
RE: install data error by linx05 on 01-10-2006 at 05:41 AM
Go to Tools > Internet Options > Delete Files.
RE: install data error by somelauw on 01-10-2006 at 05:07 PM
I have done what you said and my pc feels a lot faster now, after that I tried to install it again but again the annoying pop-up appeared; after that I turned off the computer, but about an half hour later when I start msn messenger it starts with msn plus version 3.62.146 in English(not the language it should be installed in).
I don't understand anything about these happened actions.
RE: install data error by LoftHeR on 01-10-2006 at 06:16 PM
it' same happened to me...
same error occured!
what should i do?
RE: install data error by linx05 on 01-11-2006 at 02:32 AM
Uninstall what you can of Plus!. It seems you've done enough damage to it by deleting the folder it was in and not doing a proper uninstall.
Clear your cache and download Messenger Plus!. Then install it.

does the "patchou" registry key still exist?
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou i think is the right one if so Delete the Patchou registry Key
RE: install data error by somelauw on 01-11-2006 at 04:20 PM
I have uninstalled it and also deleted settings and plug-ins, after that I cleared cache and put the checkbox that asks whether I want to delete off line files too to on/true and restarted pc because some files were locked, eventually I installed it again but no Messenger Plus .
Animal said I had to delete a registy key but I don't understand how to get on that link; I tried to run HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ to open folder but my pc didn't understand, maybe the directory is longer at beginning.
Update of second alinea:
run regedit and then further; (default)=(no value). But I haven't deleted that yet.

Now you did download it again?
If so, what happened? Were there any error messages? Anything?

In this case though, a corrupt key wouldn't affect the installation at all.

I might for other applications, but not for Messenger Plus!; the installation of Messenger Plus! does not depend on what is stored in the registry.

The only difference this time was that I couldn't find messenger plus in the program files at all after an unsuccesful installation.
15-jan-05
I tried it again but this time I didn't close messenger off before installing(right mouse, last button below) and ??? it installs perfect!
Maybe this is not the reason but I'm happy it works.
Thank you all very much for helping me! Sorry to have troubled you! I hope LoftHer who had the same problem also has succeeded to install. (And sorry for my bad English.
)
