While testing the plugins, I had to close Messenger, copy the plugin and restart Messenger. Not any more... I made this plugin installer and it is available for anyone who needs it ...

Anyways, here's how to use it:
-start a command prompt, then run the program like this:
           MsgPInst(.exe) plugin.dll

It retreives the path automatically from the registry for you.

Please, report any bugs here. I've tested it and have not found any bugs, yet...

Nice work
I was thinking about making something like this (a fully graphical plugin manager, for enabling and disabling) in VB or C++, but thankfully you've done all we need.  Leaves me time to concentrate on that WMP plugin

Thks a lot !
Great Work !

Thanks guys.

I am currently working on a windows version of that program and it should be ready by tonight, I hope... If not, certainly by tomorrow morning...

Here is another one I made when I first started playing with the api..

--
Simply put this dll in your plugins directory, reload msn and
everytime you need MSN Plus to reload all plugins and/or load
new ones from the plugins directory, do the command: /xpload

Interesting, loconet...

Anyways, here is the promised port to win32...

I have updated the winMsgPInst program. It had some bugs before, sorry.

So, it has some bugfixes and improved stability.

Please report any bugs. Thanks.

gr8 worl allex ;=)

It's great!! There are already some plugins and now, there's an installer for them!

well done Alex

Thanks to all.

I have to mention that the plugin installer will not fully work for VB plugins (it will not register them and it will not add the info to the registry).
However, I want to make it VB Compatible, too. But first I need to finish the Romanian translation .

i cant install my plugins even with this program
