Can you attach the script pack which isn't working to a post in this thread. Thus I mean the script pack which you have on your disk, which fails importing.

When importing any script (.plsc), this error message is displayed :
"An error occured while importing script's files"
(In fact, the message is : "Une erreur est survenue lors de l'importation des fichiers du script"... hope the translation is good  ^^)

At this time, the script doesn't appear in the imported scripts list.
I close and open again WLM, go to the MP!L prefs, and then the script appears in the list, not running.

This can be normal if the script pack got corrupted, or if files inside the script pack are not saved properly in the correct format (or when they got corrupted).

In such cases, Plus! will indeed import the script pack, but say that the script pack is corrupted and thus the script can't be run.

I get it running, apply changes, close the window, reopen it to be sure the script's running... it is.
But it doesn't work, and its settings window is not available in the MP!L menu of the contact list.

This also indicates the same thing; the files could be corrupted somehow.

What you might wanna try, as experiment, is to close Messenger completely. Then go to the script files (you'll find them in C:\program files\Messenger Plus!Live\Scripts\scriptname) open the individual files one by one in notepad (textfiles, JS files, XML files, anything else, except for DLLs).

Then in notepad you go to "File > Save As". There you make sure the Encoding is set to "Unicode" and then you save the file again, even if it was already in unicode, re-save it. Do this for all the files in the script (except for binary files like DLLs).

When you've done all this report back if the script is now running and working properly...

Now what i want you to do is save the script to your computer, rightclick the file and choose "Open with", then select "Messenger Plus! Live Tools" from the list and check the box below to always open these types of files with this program. That should take care of the file association problem and at that possibly the importing problems.

---

Nope, as PhilNelwyn said, this will not make the proper association with MPTools.exe because MPTools.exe expects a parameter as input:

"C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\MPTools.exe" /ImportScript="%1"

By auto-associating with the "Open with..." method, Windows will just create the link:
"C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\MPTools.exe" "%1"

In other words, you must be carefull to use "Open With..." to associate files like that since not all programs simply expect only the filename.

To extract files manually is useless, because the only file that can be imported in MP!L is the .plsc pack.

This just as a sidenote:

Yes, but importing is actually nothing more than extracting the files to a directory, setting some registry check and run the script.

All this can be done manually by simply manually extracting the script into a directory, restarting Messenger and enabling the script in the Plus! preferences.

Scripts do not related to XML or "javascript" in Windows Live Messenger. It is Messenger Plus! which functions as the scripting host. Also the relation between WLM and Internet Explorer has got nothing todo with all this.

PS: it is not Javascript, but JScript, which is very similar and related, though not the same...

Sunshine already explained one method. Though this method should be used carefully.

A better method if you want to make detailed associates, you need to go to:
    Windows Explorer (or press Win+E as a shortcut) > Tools > Folder options > File types

In there you must select the file extension (if it already exist) or create a new one (if it doesn't already exist).

When the file extension is created, you click on "Advanced" to set the proper actions and links like so:

Title: Messenger Plus! Script Pack
Action: open
Application to open it with:
"C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\MPTools.exe" /ImportScript="%1"
(pay attention to he spaces and the quotes)
("C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live" might of course be different on your computer, so change that accordingly)

But note that there was already a proper file association before you did SunShine's method. Otherwise you would never had that Plus! error either. So the association was not at fault (though, if you used Sunshine's method it might be corrupted now also)...

If you're not comfortable using this manual method, then you also might wanna simply reinstall Messenger Plus! to fix it for you.

As a final thing todo (in this case to try):
a) clear your browser cache
b) restart your browser
c) redownload the script pack
d) re-import the script pack




---------------------------

Can you perform the above actions (1, 3, 5 and 6) one by one and report each time the outcome
