Plugin Uninstalling with MSN open by Mike on 01-17-2005 at 12:12 PM

Hello.

I have seen some plugin uninstallers, that uninstall the plugin without having to close messenger.
I was wondering, how can I do this?

I tried reloading the plugins, but the plugin is still in use.
What order of actions do I have to follow, so I can uninstall my plugin when MSN is open?

Thank you! :)

PS: It's a VB plugin.

There's a system message you can send that gets Plus to unload all plugins, then reload them after five seconds. I can't remember exactly where it's documented: it may be in the Plugin API Documentation.
However, if that method doesn't work, then the limitation Dempsey pointed out applies, and you'll have to close Messenger to uninstall.
