Can't un-install Msg+ 3.50 by Mike14741 on 04-10-2005 at 05:53 PM

It won't let me uninstall or delete it.

I go to Add-Remove programs and there is a little Busy icon over the Msg+ bar, meaning i can't uninstall it.

If this is done on purpose then it's right out of order.

Any help appreciated.

thats not the busy icon, you can uninstall it, its just the uninstall messenger plus! icon, its the new icon...

Don't worry, just close msn and uninstall it :).

Press alt+ctrl+del go to processes and end the process "MsgPlus.exe"... Now try and uninstall, it should work, it probably didn't delete because the process was still running.

ok do the following:

install msg plus again (so all the files are back up and everything is good)
uninstall msg plus

it should work now, because all the files were rewritten and it was a proper installation.

That's a problem with the version of msn messenger that you have, I suggest that you downgrade for a while until this mysterious patch comes out or there is a new version of MSNM7.


RE: Can't un-install Msg+ 3.50 by Mike14741 on 04-10-2005 at 06:45 PM

I'm on MSN7. the full version that was released a few days ago.

is it still possible to use 6.2 and 7(beta)?

It will still be possible to use MSN 6.2, but the official websitewill not have any of the BETA's anymore.

Try uninstalling MSN 7, and any plugins/patches and then searching your HDD for MSN Messenger, make sure everything is deleted to do with it, and reinstall MSN 7.. might help :p

Glad everything worked out :)
And yes like everyone said. This is a problem wiht Msn Messenger 7. I suggest u wait for a newer version, I dont think this happens all the time. Only at the beggining. Am i right?
