Hey,
All right cool yea I'm a newbie so dont give a shit. lol
But ok cool yea if u send it to me that would be cool.
Yea I got you, still learning. I will try to do eveything you said.
Even though I don't have a clue about vbscript.
Only reason I did the installer was like u said to include the needs files. Really. So people would not have to download them and then do it.
Um same directory. um yea did not work...cause like u said...i was changing direectories...
did not think it would hurt putting in system32 but ok....i understand..security issue i guess....
thanks man,
Will
Ok you said:
quote:
* Like any other loader/program that attemps to kill the Plus! process, it is doing this in a bad way. I mean, what if I startup 1 Messenger without your loader and 1 with your loader. What if I want Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger running at the same time. What if I use another loader like Jnrz's to load MSN Messenger. What if Msgplus is already started before you use the loader, maybe the user doesn't want you to kill plus then, etc... etc...
It isn't as easy as saying: lets start plus, then messenger, after messenger gots terminated, kill plus. The best method to detect if plus can be killed is to use polling and check if there is no instance left of msn messenger and/or windows messenger. But you can't do that with a batchfile.
Well for your first example if you startup 1 messenger without my loader and then one without then msplus will attempt to activate msplus in the first one. If the user has the option enabled: "Display recovery window when Plus! menu is not active". Maybe I should force it to be enabled by the registry when running my script thinggy.
Well not supporting Windows Messenger atm. Will worry about that later. If msgplus is already started before using my loader then you run my load it just loads msn messenger. Still only one msgplus.exe running.
It attempts to but sees that its already running so does not run another.
Plus the pupose of my script is to do everything for u so u wont be running plus already. At least thats not why u should be using my script but it wont hurt it.
Well if u use another loader and msgplus is already running with it then nothing will happen. But if not then like I said it will try to load it.
Only because I dont kill msgplus after loading msn messenger. I personally do sicne I dont do any of that what you are talking about. So I dont need it running all the time.
Like Patchou said:
quote:
First, Plus! has a built-in mechanism to ensure it loads before Messenger. Just check the command line added in the \run key of the registry (I think it's /WinStart). When launched with this option, Plus! launches Messenger itself (using a reg key generated from the the key Messenger puts itself to auto-start with Windows) after its initialisation is complete.
As for waiting for Messenger to exit before Plus! is unloaded, you don't need too. The only purpose of msgplus.exe is to inject code in Messenger and check from time to time if Plus! is still currently enabled in memory (to display the recovery window if necessary). So basically, you can kill Plus! anytime you want after Messenger has displayed any of its windows.
And about your last comment. Like he and I just said thats fine because you dont need it to be running.
Plus the little command I use to shutdown msgplus is the correct method. It shuts it down. Does not just kill it. Like it would if u used the task manager. I was using that way before but msgplus would loose its settings if u changed something for instance and then just killed it.
That and waiting the three secs. to kill it.
So really its just fine the way it is. Besides detecting directories and stuff like u said.
Which would be great to get from you.
Thanks a ton man,
Will
One more thing:
quote:
* The use of choice to wait a couple of seconds is nice (never used it that way). Although it is not failproof. If the user presses a key during the wait, choice will think that the user just pressed the wrong key and it will halt the delay and waits until the user presses the right key. In otherwords, the script will never continue...
What key to do that. lol...i just push liked every damn key on my keyboard and no problem...must of missed one or something?....plus dont think most people will be pushing keys while it loads...
See the way I use it right now is right after msgplus and then msn messenger is load msgplus is then killed...so msgplus is only running for 4secs..
Oh and see the way i have it now and the way i sent u...
it works fine with running muiltuble instances...of my script i mean...no errors and no three msgplus in memory, etc.
