No, it isn't. The batch file is fine. "start" isn't needed; it is used to perform task in another thread by openening a new console window.


StUpIdO,

What I do miss however is a proper uninstallation file. Because, since you need to register the DLL and add a key to the registry. Just deleting the files will leave the registry keys and the DLL registration.

Included in the attachment are two batch files, one to install it and one to uninstall it. Note that a .reg isn't included as this will be created by the batchfile itself.

Also note that using batch files is one way to install this, but a more user friendly way is to actually make an installer though.

(Also included, the updated readme with the (un)install instructions)

Use it freely to include this in your zip package of the plugin...

code:

---

regsvr32.3xe /s k-crYpt.dll
kcrypt.reg

didn't work, it just said:
C:\Programme\Messenger Plus! 3\Plugins>regsvr32.exe /s -crYpt.dll
Befehl oder Dateiname nicht gefunden.
C:\Programme\Messenger Plus! 3\Plugins>crypt.reg
Befehl oder Dateiname nicht gefunden.

but when I changed it to:

code:

---

start regsvr32.3xe /s k-crYpt.dll
start kcrypt.reg

---

it did work.
What's wrong then ?

[OFF TOPIC]
Run "start /?" to know why it isn't needed and why you will get that error, and/or search the net to find more info. And in case you're wondering I had good reasons why I _did_ use "start" in my (un)installers, and it is not because of your error but because of the /wait parameter. But I'm not going to write a whole tutorial on how to use "start" and how to use the command line and batch files... sorry...

okay, thanks cookie

...and stupido, as I said, I registered the dll, added the regkey, rebooted MSN and it didn't show up in the Plus! preferences menu.

which version of MsgPlus! are you running then, because some other people who tested it, works fine

oh, sry, I thought I said it already...well:
Windows Version: Windows 98
MSN Messenger Version: 7.0.0425
Messenger Plus! Version: 3.40.0110

the plug-in is designed for:

Latest available version:
3.25.106 [changelog]
Released Oct. 20th 2004

since the 3.40 version is still an BETA!!!!

i haven't seen the SDk yet, so i can't tell what is wrong

so...........can't help you yet.

ps; also the Messenger 7.00 and 3.40 BETA aren't supported yet @ the IRc channel, so can;t do anything about the bug......srry

CookieRevised, thanks for the installer, i'll add it to the .zip as soon as 1.2 Final is ready

have to wait for some comment
