Make sure you're registering it in the correct folder. Also, ensure you're using regasm, not regsvr32.

O.P. RE: NEW PLUGIN IN VB.NET NOT WORKING
i am using regasm, and it is in the correct folder, but it still wont recognize it, the information for the plugin is in the registry and it works just fine on my computer. Is there a way i could maybe convert it to c/c++ and make it work that way? (i dont know c/c++ but is there a program for it or somthing???) and i tried installing it with the plugin installer, but it doesnt even add the information to the registry.

here is the exact steps i have taken:
1. Shutdown Messenger
2. Added it to Registered Plugins, in the registry
3. Copied the DLL to the plugins directory
4. Registered the DLL in the plugin's directory with RegAsm
5. Loaded Messenger

Did i miss a step? or are they supposed to be in a different order???
because it still isnt detecting it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and i have a reature request for Messenger Plus, maybe an advanced plugin detection thing, that will notice its there and tell you whats missing, like if it needs to be registered, or if its not listed in the registered plugins.

for future reference, if you are using the messenger api, make sure they have the updated version of Windows Messenger :D, the person i was testing it with was using dialup at the time and never got around to downloading the update, so the messenger api didnt even exist... lol

You need to have Windows Messenger installed AND enabled (aka: do not use those crappy advisements of disabling Windows Messenger as this will break many things, incl. the API). See CookieRevised's reply to I am about to rip my hair out over MS Messanger

AFAIK, only on XP Windows Messenger is pre-installed. Then again, I don't have a fresh copy of 98 here.... Anyways, just check your program files folder for Windows Messenger to see if it is installed...
