I'm glad that someone said that they had accidentally installed the sponsor, it saves a lot of moaning and hassle on both behalves.

This problem is easily handled - just uninstall messenger plus from the add/remove programs list. If you want to keep your preferences and/or plugins (if any), then MsgPlus allows you to do this.

Then you can simply reinstall the program (making sure to not install the sponsor this time).

Patchou doesn't want to disguise the sponsor part of the install process as a license agreement. The 'i accept' sentence even has ACCEPT in capital letters, so it is not as easily missed.

Sure, Patchou could make the sponsor page even more friendly, but it's his decision, and also many people don't have much of a problem with it.

I guess the lesson to learn here is to not just 'quick-click' through installers, as every page has a reason to be there. (Even though no one wants to read license agreements, just read the text next to the box you are checking.)
