MPTools for WLM 20009 by MrCobra on 01-22-2009 at 11:26 PM
According to the skin documentation for the version 4.79.0.353....
quote:
MPTools.exe /UIB=Encode /Def="C:\deffile.txt" /Style="C:\stylefile.txt" /Dest="C:\uibfile.txt"
But when I execute this tool, I get a popup that states...
quote:
This program is used internally by Messenger Plus! Please check the documentation.
If it's not able to be run seperately, then why does the documentation say it can?

Because you're meant to run it in a command line, not click on its icon.
EDIT: I'm working on a front-end for this in VB.NET so you don't have to use the command prompt so much.

You can also copy paste that into the address bar when inside that folder

quote:It did. My issue was that I was quoting file names and missed a quote. It's all sorted now.
