I get this error when I try to install it. The Plus part of the plugin seems to work fine, but its the Media Player part that fouls up

In the readme file it says:

3:    Please make sure in windows media player you have checked Tools-->plugins-->bloggin plugin  else windows media to nick wont work

Sadly its not getting as far as installing the plugin for WMP. Its not able to find it to register the DLL. The Plus DLL gets installed without a problem. So I can use the Plus side of it, but since the WMP plugin is not installed or registered it doesn't work. Have you installed it ok?

I get the same error, the problem is that bloggin is a plugin for windows media player and plugins are added after the install and I (and Jeronimo propably too) have that plugin. So you could please insert the WMP bloggin plugin to your installation file or give a link to it? Thank you

I congratulate Wouter on a job well done.

I have one request, cuz it's been buggin' me for days.
It's about the Personalized Away name tag suffix (where instead of "(Away)" or "(Busy)", you can have your own text, like "(Playing)" or "(Watching TV)").
Whenever I have that on, and I switch the mp3, it reverts back to "(Away)" or "(Busy)".

Is there anyway to stop this from happening?  Maybe you can consult Patchou about it.  Thanks for reading my request.

cant you make this work how monty burns works you got in the part i suggestied about so you can type in whatever were you can have (!WAT) anywere but you gotta stop the song before it will chagne.. whats the point in having the winamp icon in the system try if i gotta stop it..
Edit: i dont gotta stop it for it to change the nick but.. everytime i change the song it makes a beep noise
Edit2: when i click stop on winamp i get control not reconised... from msgplus

The data.cab file that is in the zip seems to be currupt, Might just be me, but it can't open, so it can't install and i get the same errors that are above.. Maybe faulty upload?

well it works fine for me
do you use windows media player 9?
and does this dir
C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\Plugins
exists on your computer
and after install is this fille there?
C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\Plugins\blogging.dll

No, the Plugin Folder didn't exist. When i created it and re-ran install it worked perfectly. Thanks
