You have to register the DLL.

code:
start > run > regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 3\Plugins\NameOfPlugin.dll"
If you installed Messenger Plus! 3 to a different location then change the above.

You also need to Run the Install.Reg. (If you changed the Name of the Class from Sample to something else then change it accordingly in the reg file. ie. open in notepad.)

Completly Exit MSN Messenger and restart it.

What determines the class file, coz its not working. I have a project file called RSP, and 2 other files, MPPluginConst.bas and MPPluginDef.cls in that project. I set the reg file to "RSP"="Sample" and ran it. But it doesn't appear in Msgplus :S

Oops My bad i made a mistake sorry. The left side is what your plugin is called so RSP then the right side is ProjectName.ClassName
so MPPlugin.Sample.

My Bad sorry about that.

Of you need more help take a look at this open source plugin I made.
