Hi Guys!

(not sure I'm in the right section here..)

I have a little problem getting MSG+ to run on computers a work on which I am not admin

here's how I do it:  Since I cannot "install" MSN6 normally as I should with the installation program, I simply copy the folder c:\program files\MSN Messenger from a working installation and import the registry keys that go with it.  This has always worked fine and still does.

I did the same with Messenger Plus! 3 and imported the registry keys as well and when I click the "msgplus.exe" file, I get nothing.  the executable does not launch and it does not appear in the processes anywhere.

So the question is:  what is it that msgplus.exe looks for specifically in order to launch and stay resident?

I think there is only a little detail missing here because I have tried the very same files for copying Messenger Plus and importing the keys, but on a computer on which MSN6 was installed through the installation program and that works just fine...  so it's really just something that is being checked that is not there yet...  any ideas?

Msgplus needs MSN Messenger (msnmsgr.exe) there is no way to run it without MSN Messenger

Why would you want to run Messenger Plus! without Messenger itself?

He said he couldn't install it. Not that he didn't want to.

He wants to run Msg. Plus! without having to install it.

As for you problem, I dont have a clue, but could you PM / E-Mail me with more info on how you're running MSN without installing it? I would be very intrested in this. lol

One of the key required is HKCR\\CLSID\\{0D81DFEC-5610-4a2b-9B57-FC33D21366F0}\\LocalServer32

You're the MAN!

that was the missing key.

thanks alot! and awesome program!

thank you
