Just wondering if anyone has been using Windows Vista Beta 2 and installed WIndows Live Messenger and Plus Live!.  I tried installing the audiator script and it failed with the following error. 

An error occured while importing the script files.

then I tried downloading another script and it failed with the same error.  Do I need something else installed for the scripts to work or is this a vista issue?

Thanks

Well importing problems are dodgy and they rarely happen cause there isnt much complication to it. You could manually install it without any trouble at all. But first you should try redownloading and installing again.

If that doesnt work then let me know. Ill tell you how to do it manually

(I thought the script doesnt work for which i had a reason but yours is an installation problem .... let me know what happens )

I downloaded the audiator twice now, still no go.  I also tried installing the google search script and no go also. 

I also went into Plus Live Preferences and to the scripts tab and clicked import and then tried to import audiator that way, this came back with the same result.

I also tried to click the "create new" script, it said I couldn't create a new script.

Chestah: since the plsc's are basically zip's with xml's for the info, we could just rename it to a .zip and extract it to a folder with the scripts name in the scripts folder.

Thats how I did it before the export and import feature came in

Yeah, but theres definately a problem when he can't create a new script at all! Possibly some permission conflictions in Vista due to UAP?

I had a problem installing scripts in vista too, here's how to fix it:

Simply change the permissions in the properties for the Messenger Plus! Live folder, or the scripts folder, and tick "Full Control" for everyone.

Plus seems unable to make new folders in the script directory unless you do this.

But that solves all the problems, so no worries"

Vista scares me, since when are apps not allowed by default to write files in folders that were created by the same app .

Anyway, Patchou should take a look at it, sounds like an easy to fix.

vista didn't give me any problem till now. I'm so glad about it. However, my conversation window somehow freeze momentarily or even stop responding when I've got more then 4 scripts installed.

Well changing the permissions of the Script folder by adding "Everyone" and Full Control it worked.

Either that or I'd instead suggest you install the app as an administrator. While installing WLM Plus! rt.click on the installer and choose "Run as Administrator". This will throw a UAC dialog box if a user tries to install a script, it should limit installs of scripts to only those with a valid admin user/passwd. Just blindly assigning full control to all users is sort of bypassing the security controls in place by Vista. Just my 2 cents

^ Agreed, they are annoying but being Beta 2 those annoyances will go away with the next RC releases. Those security controls are in place for a reason though and one way or another we'll have to get used to them.

Made sure Patchou will read this topic .

I'll work on that, thx for reporting.
