O.P. first time install script
hi... i was wondering how to make it so that the first time you install the script it pops up a little window saying thanks for installing this script... etc... with a close button... it kind of does this on the itunes+ script where it asks if you want to view the help file... but i just want it to open a window with a little info on it and thats it...

Use the registry. If a value(say first run) doesn't exist or is true, then display the window and write false to the value. If you need an example, just ask [Image: msn_wink.gif].

RE: first time install script
code:
var Shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");

function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart){
    try{
        if(Shell.RegRead(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath+Messenger.MyEmail+"\\FirstRun") != "false"){//If FirstRun is not false
            Debug.Trace("This is the first run");
            //Display Welcome Window
            Shell.RegWrite(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath+Messenger.MyEmail+"\\FirstRun", "false")//Set FirstRun to false
        }
    }catch(e){//If key doesn't exist
        //Display Welcome Window
        Debug.Trace("This is the first run");
        Shell.RegWrite(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath+Messenger.MyEmail+"\\FirstRun", "false")//Set FirstRun to false
    }
}
