RE: Installation Error
OK firstly, I would remove MSN/Windows Live Messenger by going Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.

Then go Start -> Run and type in (without quotes) "C:\Program Files" and then search for 2 folders folder called MSN Messenger and Messenger PLus! Live (or Messenger Plus! if your talking about Plus1 3). If both or one of those folders is there delete it, if you can't find the folder, just move onto the next step.

Now restart your computer and then once your computer comes back into windows, install MSN/Windows Live Messenger and then Messenger PLus! 3/Live.

Hope this helps

Also note, I will hopefully work on something that will remove registry settings as well. but that will come in time.

Hello,

I did exactly like you asked me:

1º Unnistalled WLM

2º Sought the two folders ( I didn't find none )

3º Restarted the computer

4º Installed the WLM 8.1 Beta

5º When I tried to install MessengerPlus! Live 4.10.250, the same error is showed:

An error occurred while installing Messenger Plus!. Please try again later.

Should I give up? :(

MessengerPlus Live 4.01.240 and Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0812 always work fine for me.

RE: Installation Error
maybe instead of installing the BETA version of Messenger, install 8.0 again and try installing the latest version of Messenger Plus! Live.

Hello Matty,

Thank you for your attention.

Anyway, I prefer to continue using WLM 8.1 Beta and wait a version of MessengerPlus! compatible.

Thanks (Y)

RE: Installation Error
Version 4.10.250 is compatible...maybe you should make sure you have the latest version by downloading it from http://download.msgpluslive.net/setup/MsgPlusLive-410.exe

Also, using 8.1 or 8.0 is really not that much different, after all 8.1 doesn't really bring anything new apart from more headaches

RE: Installation Error
Niobe, save the file to disk before you install it. In other words on downloading Plus! choose "save" instead of "open". Then install by doubleclicking that file.
