This probably means your internet disconnected. Since you typed this, that means you are back on, try installing it again. It means its a currupted file, and since your internet disconnected in the middle of installing it, it got corrupted. , reply if it worked ;)

Go to Tools > Internet Options. Click the Delete Files button.
This will clear your browser's cache of files it has downloaded.
You can now go back to Messenger Plus Live! to download again

when you go and download it, save it to disk instead of selecting run. Save it to the desktop or some other convenient place, and then run the file.

The 'not a valid win32 application' message occurs when there is a problem with the downloaded file.

You could also try downloading from a mirror at Simtel.net

janzokris, as said in above posts you need to clear your cache then download Plus!Live again from the official site or from a mirror.  Welcome to the forums :wave:

For those using a downloadmanager: turn that off..it is known to corrupt exe files (it is good for downloading pictures tho).

I also have Plus!3 and Plus!Live on my website on files page, just choose "local" after you clicked the download button (main is Plus! site, local is my own).
