Can't load scripts in Vista by hubbie on 02-05-2007 at 07:40 AM

I'm trying to load scripts, but it does'nt work :S

Windows Live Messenger 8.01.0178
Messenger Plus! Live 4.11.0.254

These are the messages i get:

(Some files of this script are in use, click ok to restart messenger to complete the installation)

And after restarting WLM:

(The selected script can not be installed succesfully, restart your computer and try again)

The account i use for this action has administrator rights.

what script are you loading?


RE: Can't load scripts in Vista by hubbie on 02-05-2007 at 08:20 AM

I have tried several scripts:

Toastmsg
Stickeynotes
Screenshot sender 4
Script_updates

They all give the same messages.

ToastMessage works fine for me on Vista.

Please run regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live and check what directory is specified for ScriptsDir.

Then, if you know how, open this directory in the explorer, check its properties and tell me what security is set for it. Thanks.

Which type of user account do you have? Are you a standard user with and there is a separate Administrator?

@ Patchou,

I'm at the world championship speedskating at the moment and don't have my computer with me.

I will check tomorrow ;)

@ Matty,

Ik have use a standerd user with administration rights and also have an administrator account. Both accounts give the same messages.

Ok i'm back now...

I have found the scripts directory.

The owner is "Administrators" and this group is allowed full access except the special rights...

It works fine here without any special rights and access :)
Could you please try reinstalling WLM and MP!L? :)
RE: Can't load scripts in Vista by hubbie on 02-12-2007 at 05:40 PM

John,

Reinstalling is not a problem, but wouldn't it be better for Patchou to have a look at this? (In case more people run into the same situation)

If i reinstall, the problem might be solved, but than it is impossible to find out what went wrong...

I and quite a few other users have been using Plus! on Vista for ages without any such problems. Maybe its something to do with WLM/Plus! or some app interfering rather than it being an Vista-Plus! incompatibility?


RE: Can't load scripts in Vista by hubbie on 02-12-2007 at 06:00 PM

John,

I can not exclude that might be a possible reason for this behaviour.

But i suppose that, because Patchou has writte some lines of code for this situation, he might have a clou where this comes from.

I' ve worked on a couple of fixes for vista in version 4.20. Please send me an email to mplus@patchou.com and we'll do some tests together.
