Hi. It seems, when I download a wink from MSN Messenger, this 'content installation failed' message comes up. I am using a router, and Messenger Plus.
Whats wrong? If you need any more info, contact me here.

Try running MSN Messenger without messenger plus, then install the wink.

This has worked for me.

I uninstalled MSN Plus ! Still didn't work... But I didn't do it with the uninstaller than 'came' with it, I couldn't find the installer.

How did you uninstall it then? You should go to control panel, add/remove programs then remove messenger plus 3. Reinstall it first though if you have deleted files.

Did you download the wink through MSN Messenger using the Blue Mountain service, or was it a wink just downloaded as a file?

Thanks for replying, Yes, it was a wink from a file, But I have also used the normal service that MSN provides, however, It still gives the same error.

The file extension should be .mco for which you need mcoinstall.exe

Make sure you are signed in to MSN Messenger without plus running, then run the mcoinstall.exe file and find the wink using mcoinstall. It will make sense when you run it. If it still is not working, can you attach the file so i can try it out as well, thanks.

EDIT: Also try uninstalling MSN Messenger through Add/remove programs. Then download it from http://messenger.msn.com and install.

Thanks for replying, I am using mcoinstall, still, I have done what you said, Still doesn't work.. I will upload the file...
Also... It also does this when I'm doing moods.

I just tried that file and it doesn't do a thing, not even an error message appears, but when I try installing some other winks and moods, it works fine.

Try the wink that i attached.

Thanks, but still, the message still displays.

I just tried both winks out but nothing happened at all. Try getting some winks from www.winks.cc and see if they work. If not then there may be a problem with the MCO installer.
