MtK Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Hi,I've added MSN Messenger to my XPCREATE (SetupDl.exe -> SVC-X2M)& I've noticed I have both MSN Messenger & Windows Messenger after a clean installation...Why Is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morkeleb Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Thats normal as far as I see.Try it on an already installed system which doesnt haveMSN 6.2 yet and youll see that the old version still exists.You you could probably delete (or let delete via script)the link of the old one afterwards, probably in a clean-upscripts.Morke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtK Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 can this be fixed by:[Components] msmsgs=offor it will remove MSN Messenger as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morkeleb Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I think it removes MSN messenger as well.When I did that it complained about missing files during install,but that may have been due to other errors.I'd be interested if my guesses are true.

prathapml Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 You got it right.[Components] msmsgs=offThat in winnt.sif will prevent Windows Messenger links being created in StartMenu, Desktop, etc. (it WILL be installed though!) That's what you have to use to disable Windows Messenger.Having that there will not affect your MSN messenger in anyway - they are both different things! Any errors you saw when you used the above might just be due to something else, so no worries.So, using the above code in winnt.sif will do what you want - to disable Windows Messenger, and have only MSN Messenger.

MtK Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 sorry about the duplicate thread, I just thought it could be something with nLite... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Looks like this one is cleared up. Simply a WINNT.SIF question, and not an XPCREATE concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtK Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 I just thought XPCREATE overwrites Windows Messenger with the installation of MSN Messenger...I solved this out with nLite, but WINNT.SIF works too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 No, XPCREATE does not replace any programs with others: it only updates existing files. MSN is not an update to WMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
