Messenger 2009 Beta + Messenger Plus Problems by deano2uk on 11-11-2008 at 09:58 PM

I've read a few threads on here, especially the main sticky's and can't resolve my problem whatever I try.

I have upgraded to 2009 Beta, no problem with that. I installed the MsgPlusLive-479 from the main site, installs with no problems. Startup MSN and there's no "Plus" in the toolbar :S

I've checked if I have Smiley Central etc, but I've only just cleanly installed Vista, so there is no signs of them.

Any ideas?

Hi deano2uk,

Firstly, uninstall both.

Then download and install WLM 2009 (beta) and Msg Plus! Live (beta).

Where can I get Msg Plus! Live 4.79 (beta) for WLM 2009 (beta)?

They're both compatible with each other, so you should have no problems. Hopefully a re-install will fix the problem. Double check you're downloading the correct versions.

Open Messenger Plus Preferences

Click the 'Customize' tab at the top

Ensure that the option "Allow me to connect to several accounts simultaneously" is selected

Click on WLM from your start menu and it should open a second instance

I've uninstalled the Beta and Messenger Plus from above and still the same problem, Plus isn't even showing up on my MSN toolbar at the top next to Tools and Help :|

Confusing to say the least

Same problem here!  =/


No sign of Messenger Plus! inside my Live Messenger 2009!





Second time I try to reinstall it...

what if you navigate to the Messenger Plus Folder an Double click on the MsgPlusLive icon ..will it then hook onto Messenger ?

RE: Messenger 2009 Beta + Messenger Plus Problems by Chris4 on 11-13-2008 at 07:05 PM

deano2uk and viniciusrsouza, check C:\Program Files\ folder and see if there's a Messenger Plus! Live folder.

Note: C is the default letter for your main hard drive, it can vary depending on what hard drive you've installed Windows to. Replace C with your hard drive letter.

If there's a folder and contents (screenshot below) then it has installed correctly, but has unsuccessfully hooked onto Messenger. If there's no folder and no contents, it's unsuccessfully installed.

If you try running MPTools.exe you'll get this:

Also have this issue. Plus files are there, but it is not in wlm. 64bit os is used, so it is program files (x86).

RE: Messenger 2009 Beta + Messenger Plus Problems by viniciusrsouza on 11-15-2008 at 05:56 AM

I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 and it's the x86 (32 Bits) version!

Is this a problem only when using Vista?

RE: Messenger 2009 Beta + Messenger Plus Problems by chiypg on 11-15-2008 at 04:45 PM

I'm also using Vista, and UAC is disabled. I reinstalled 2009 and then installed wlm 2008 8.5.1302.1018, and it works now.

Please make sure you're running the correct version first. Download http://mirror3.msgpluslive.net/MsgPlusLive-479b.exe (version 4.79.0.353) and install it.

thanks it worked but how come the download from the main website didnt work??

RE: Messenger 2009 Beta + Messenger Plus Problems by Menthix on 01-14-2009 at 11:11 PM

The big blue download now button on the download page will give you version 4.70.334, which is the last non-beta version, but this version is not compatible with Live Messenger 2009 yet.

A little below the big blue download button you'll see the text "Users of Windows Live Messenger 2009: download the latest compatible version of Messenger Plus! Live here (in beta)". That link will give you version 4.79.0.353 which is compatible with Live Messenger 2009, but still in beta. As long as Patchou thinks the new version is not 100% stable yet it will stay in beta and not replace the main download yet to avoid crashing computers of all users. Having that said, the new version seems to be pretty stable... if you do encounter problems please report them in the bugs forum :).
