Hello,

I downloaded this programm, and it's very fun!

But I've got a little problem. I tried to download the Handwriting Plugin.

It was written this message on the readme file:

Before installing make sure you have the Ink Redistributables from Microsoft installed.

I was stupid: I installed the plugin before the Ink redistributables... I tried to uninstall Messenger Plus! and reinstall the plugin, but it doesn't work...

Can you help me?!? What can I do to have this handwriting plugin?

exit messenger completely
delete the plugin from the dir (handwriting.dll i think)
install ink redistributables
install handwriting plugin

i think this should work.

its "MsnHandWriting.dll", n yeh it should work. well it worked for me at least, when i made the same mistake a while ago

don't install your "ink.msi" directly!  use setup.exe to install it
if your computer can't find "instmsiw.exe" try to download   and copy it to the same directory

Delete MSNHandwriting.dll from C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 3\Plugins

I made what you told me to do, and I've got this message:


Ink Redistributables not installed!

It seems you dont have the Ink Redistributables installed,
Since MSN needs these to enable handwritten messages, the MSN HandWriting plugin could not be loaded!
Please install the Ink Redistributables and either reload the plugin with something like Plugin Reloader by optimism_,
Or restart MSN Messenger

But I installed it......

Goauld , Do you have Windows XP or Windows 2000?

If not , I am sorry to inform you that Handwriting plugin only works on these two opperating systems.

Yes, my system is windows XP...

read http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=22276 very carefully and note all the details (like install "for all users")...

I have the same problem if you have this message box
i've solved it last night
0.close messenger
1.unzip inkredist.zip to a directory
2.find instmsiw.exe(search in google or microsoft) copy it to the same directory
3.run setup.exe not ink.msi although it can be worked correctly
4.restart your msn messenger
5.install the handwriting plugin

Thats my problem too. I wish ppl would stop deleting my sensable posts about why the plugin wont work for me

Thank you, it works...

I didn't choose "for all users"... That was the problem...
