I'm getting a couple of "Unhandled Exception: The system can not locate resource specified" errors when starting up msn messenger lately.

When I select the debugger, it ends up in this piece of code:
in msxml3.dll:


function LoadXmlDoc(sUrl){
    Interop.Call('wininet.dll', 'DeleteUrlCacheEntryW', sUrl);
    var xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    xmlhttp.open('GET', sUrl, false);
    xmlhttp.send();
    return xmlhttp.responseText;
}

The sUrl contains this value:    http://scriptlink.msgpluslive.net/redirect-116/ss.update.xml"


Call stack:

OnEvent_SigninReady
OnEvent_Initialize
UpdateCheck
LoacXmlDoc


Any ideas how to fix this?
Aparantly the website scriptlink.msgpluslive.net does not exist (anymore?).

Tx.,
Eize

Help,

I am having this again lately.

It is apparantly a hardcoded path in msn:


function UpdateCheck(sDisplayMessage){
    if (sDisplayMessage === true){
        OpenWindow('WndUpdate.xml', 'WndUpdateStatus', 0, false);
    }
    var sXmlText = LoadXmlDoc('http://scriptlink.msgpluslive.net/redirect-116/ss.update.xml');
.
.




When I type http://scriptlink.msgpluslive.net  in a browser it is not found.

...

Replace

var sXmlText = LoadXmlDoc('http://scriptlink.msgpluslive.net/redirect-116/ss.update.xml');

by

var sXmlText = "";

That should solve your problem.

From the jscript source code fragment you gave, it seems to be screenshot sender who's behind the trouble.

It doesn't because your server is not capapble of handling the high number of users and your script was using a synchronous method to load the xml file which could then cause Messenger to freeze (and apparently display unfriendly errors to people when the server can't be reached).

The line I gave should indeed fix it as it will remove the call that downloads the file (although I don't know what the script does afterwards with the data). You should have updated your script to do an async download .
