O.P. MPTools for WLM 20009
According to the skin documentation for the version 4.79.0.353....

quote:
MPTools.exe /UIB=Encode /Def="C:\deffile.txt" /Style="C:\stylefile.txt" /Dest="C:\uibfile.txt"

But when I execute this tool, I get a popup that states...

quote:
This program is used internally by Messenger Plus! Please check the documentation.

If it's not able to be run seperately, then why does the documentation say it can?

Because you're meant to run it in a command line, not click on its icon.

EDIT: I'm working on a front-end for this in VB.NET so you don't have to use the command prompt so much.

You can also copy paste that into the address bar when inside that folder :p

It doesn't matter which way I run it, it still gives the same error window.

EDIT: Never mind: mismatched quotes. DUH!!!

So even if you go Start > Run > type "cmd" and press enter > type "MPTools.exe /UIB=Encode /Def="C:\deffile.txt" /Style="C:\stylefile.txt" /Dest="C:\uibfile.txt"" then press enter again, it gives the same error?
You have the intellect comparable to that of a rock. Be proud.

It did. My issue was that I was quoting file names and missed a quote. It's all sorted now.

Thanks.
