That is very good news I would love to see a new FT+ 1.2 release soon .

Hey guys, i got a problem...

I recently downloaded File Transfer but the 'progress' just stays at 'Awaiting Connection...'

How do i get it working

oh and btw, my contact has the plugin too, so its got nothing to do with that...

lappin have you got windows messenger installed if not click here to get it.

That's probably not the issue. Lappin, make sure you both have your ip and stuff filled in properly @ properties and make sure the 'sender' has a open port.

I installed the new file transfer plus 1.1 R on my computer but when i opened messenger after it installed i got an error message saying "File Transfer Plus could not be loaded because Windows Messenger is not correctly installed on your system.Please reinstall it and try again."
I'm using windows

xp home with sp2
windows messenger 6.2 (newest)
msnn plus 3.25.106

whats wrong and how do i fix it
btw i configured my options correctly to my computer

It's MSN Messenger 6.2. So you probably removed windows messenger. As RicarDog said before:

I ask you again to read the whole post by CookieRevised, http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=26...d=258821#pid258821, since it explains everything about Messenger service and Windows Messenger (including how to remove Windows Messenger without causing problems to plugins).

OR.. you could wait until RicarDog is finished testing his version of FT+ that doesn't require WM...

Edit: Post 800 xD

Thx markus the help is appreciated but in reference to the Cookie Revised thread what do i do if i have already removed Windows Messenger the WRONG way?

Good job! I've sent the plugin to a lot of my friends and we use it all the time. Keep up the great work.

Just check if you still have all the files in 'Program Files\Messenger' folder including the msmsgs.exe. If you still have them, it's no problem.

How did you remove WM? I'd have thought by going to Add/Remove Progs, then Add/Remove Windows Components, you should be able to re-tick the Windows Messenger box, this should put the default WM supplied with XP back in to your system?


That said, it may just pay to be patient and wait for the next release of File Transfer Plus that wont need WM to be installed!!

Hopefully not long to wait now, any chance of a beta anytime soon RicarDog?
