No, Plus! doesn't check for MSN Messenger in the program folder. In fact, it doesn't matter where MSN Messenger is installed at all as far as Plus! is concearned.

Though, Messenger needs to be properly installed. This means that registry keys should be in the proper place. And most likely your admin has removed these registry settings also and locked you also down from altering them.

The only thing you can try to do is to remove Messenger Plus! and reinstall it with the /noadmin option:

MsgPlus-362.exe /noadmin

how exactly do you do that?

yeah true.. my trillian messenger won't work too for some reason, but MSN is working fine.

Go Start --> Run --> and type this in -->

"C:/path/to/the/file/MsgPlus-362.exe" /noadmin

path to my MSN or Messenger Plus? I've no clue where the Plus is located btw.. in program files or documents and settings? i always use the shortcut in the start menu.. so yeah..

The path to the Messenger Plus install file. Ie the one you downloaded from www.msgplus.net . Not the actual installed files!

k.. i'll try that, thankx for all the help guys. i'll post again if there are any problems~

Sorry but you must have MSN/Windows Messenger 4.6 (minimum) installed on your system in order to install Messenger Plus!
Re-installing MSN Messenger generally solves this problem.

It keeps on saying that..

C:\Tools\MSN Messenger

that's where my messenger is located. usually it is C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger

You need to have Windows Messegner installed on your system.

... that sucks.. does it have to be located in the program files?.. and is there a way to install it without admin rights?

is there a way to install without admin rights?

No it needs to be installed with Administrative rights.

If you are in a company try seeing if your IT will install it for you. If you can provide ample reasoning for it I don't think they will have trouble with it. If you are able to use Messenger state that you feel its more secure and would rather use it instead of MSN Messenger.
