Error message - ....Installation Altered by keralucu on 09-01-2006 at 07:31 AM
Hi
I recently installed Windows Messenger Live after having used MSN Messenger (XP) with Messenger Plus for a while. The next time I started up the computer I got an error message saying "Messenger Plus! - Installation Altered. Messenger Plus! has not been installed properly on this system. Please download and install the setup package of this program".
I downloaded and installed Messenger Plus! Live, but still get the same message everytime I restart the computer, even after having uninstalled MP! Live and reinstalling it. It's not such a big deal although it is rather annoying that you cannot just close the error message window without it automatically opening Windows Explorer and going to www.msgpluslive.net.
What can I do to get rid of this error message?
Thanks
keralucu

Searching the forums, there has been a couple of people with the same problem and they didn't find a solution.
Try uninstalling Messenger Plus! Live from Add/Remove Programs, then delete the Messenger Plus! Live folder in Program Files. Then download a new copy from www.msgpluslive.net.
Make sure you are installing Plus! Live on an Administrator's account.

I have a similar problem...After I installed a Windows Vista patch (like vista transformation) I tried to open Windows Live, and it said that my config. was wrong. The reinstallation of Windows live should work...but it didn't...i uninstalled it from add/remove programs in panel control and still have the problem...Actualy Im running MSN 7.5... any ideas to solve my problem, please?

Thanks a lot for your help Chris4. Duuuhhh... so simple really, I should have thought of it myself.
After I deleted the entire folder from Program Files and then reinstalled MP!Live the error message disappeared. Now all is well.
Cheers

I have almost the same problem. I tried downloading Messenger Plus, but when I try to run the installation, I get an error telling me that the author of the program is unknown (something along those line). when i chose to run the program anyways, i get an error as to what Messenger Plus isn't a valid Win32 application!!!!!!! What can I do?
