O.P. Plus 6.25.106 Installer I/O Error
Patchou, I have tried to use Plus!'s auto update feature several times to update, but it does not download anything.  I then downloaded the latest installer and now I get an I/O error after about 20% progress.  So I uninstalled Plus!, rebooted, and attempted the installation again with the same bad luck (yes I ran the installer with messenger running and not running).  Finally, I saw the Messenger Plus! folder in Program Files so I deleted it--which just caused the folder and all its contents to stick to my Recycle Bin (somehow?) where they cannot be deleted.  At this point I am beginning to get Very Annoyed, I mean, I have a Recycle Bin I can't empty and even worse I have the boring messenger that won't accept Plus!.  I realize something in my regestry is doing this, but I also realize that if I try to fix those keys myself again it would be even worse than the first time--but I shall spare you the details. :D

Here is a screenshot of the I/O error dialog:

you should restore what you delete in its original location (program files) and uninstall Plus! from the AddRemove Programs panel. Then reboot and try again, it will definitively work :).

well, if the files arecompletely gone from your computer, then youcan reinstall. One other alternative is to install in a different directory (like C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 3 - B").

Fixed!--I threw away the note before I thought about posting it, but there was this registry key that, when deleted, allowed me to install Plus!.  I just want to thank you for your help as I realize you must want to pull your hair out every time someone want you to fix a problem that has nothing to do with Plus!.  Happy Holidays, Ben Wood
