MsgPlus 3 Unattended Install

[enuffsaid]

It works fine, but it's possible to install it in Spanish??

Thnx,

Annita

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2]
"LanguageFile"="Lang_Espanol (Espana).ini"

instead.. put pskill in $OEM$\$$\System32  no need 2 copy it

or... if you're using Windows XP Pro, do even simpler...

don't copy anything and use the included "taskkill.exe" instead. (not included in Windows XP Home)

taskkill /F /IM msnmsgr.exe

[Daimao]

ECHO.
ECHO Instalando MSN Messenger Plus! 3
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\MsgPlus\MsgPlus.exe /SilentInstallNoSponsor
pskill.exe MsgPlus.exe
pskill.exe msnmsgr.exe

I tried it like this but it gives me an error that the file is corrupted or not there

But when i click it on the HD it works fine

@enuffsaid i tried taskill until using pskill but doesn't work good with msgplus and msgr

@Daimao try to use runonceex instead of cmdlines.txt

[evilvoice]

you can not rename msgplus...it must stay msgplus-3.01.exe (or whatever the version is), so do not change the name of the file, or it breaks the installer.

[Daimao]

ah ok,guess i'll rename it again

By the way guys where does one find a copy of "pskill.exe"

PS: Messenger Plus! 3.20 is due to be released today within the next 12 hrs and the installer name change error has been fixed in this new release. Thus you will be able to change the name of the installer to whatever you like.

[Daimao]

ok,thx

and pskill :

pskill.exe

[SiMoNsAyS]

about the name of the .exe file: i forgot that

if you rename your file to "msgplus.exe" or something like that the installer won't work at it has said before. althought you can search in download.com (i think that's the site), there it's a copy of msgplus latest version named to setup.exe and works.

and about the new version a quote from the main site

Messenger Plus! 3.20 is on its way! - 14/09/2004

After 3 months of waiting, a new version of Messenger Plus! is finally going to be released. As I explained in my last news, I've been very busy during the summer and I wanted to make sure that the new release was worth the wait. Messenger Plus! 3.20 will officially be released Sunday, 19th of September and will contain various improvements you won't want to miss

it appears that the next version will be a great update

My comment was geared towards MCT anyway. It works for me and should work for others.

If pskill makes you happy, be my guest.

lot of new features (specially nice have your contacts on your desktop) and now you can rename the installer.

[enuffsaid]

"floating contacts" is still a buggy feature. If you come back from a system standby, your contacts may disappear. With a little more work this could turn out to be a nice feature.

Thank heavens he fixed the advertisement banner bug.

ECHO.
