jobbie Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 where can i place the new windows messenger 5 in xpcreate
Famer Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 i beleave it goes here SVC-WMS it's been awhile since i used this tool
jobbie Posted September 28, 2004 Author Posted September 28, 2004 this does'nt work i have tried it will work with messenger 4.7
GreenMachine Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 I don't remember for sure, and I don't have the file here, but I would guess SVC-X2M. If not that, then SVC-POS ... maybe.Let us know what worked!
tarquel Posted October 10, 2004 Posted October 10, 2004 Have just downloaded and installed it.It seems to be msi style install wrapped in IExpress...Unpacking the file reveals three files...InstMsiW.exe - msiexecMessenger.msi - needs to explainationsetup.exe - the IExpress wrapper (I think)Would that help the decision of where to put it?[EDIT 12-10-04:]Right well I've tried it in the X2M folder...not listed or installed after windows had finished installing etc.The Messenger folder in Program Files did contain the 4.7 folder so I wonder whether it was installed and windows decided to replace it with the 4.7 version...Just tried it manually using the /Q:U /R:N switches and they work Gonna try placing it in the POS folder as GM suggested and see what happens.[EDIT 12-10-04:]No luck at all here. Putting the file into the POS directory gives the result of a Messenger folder in Program Files but only a file called lvback.gif inside it.Although in Add/Remove Windows Components, it appears Windows Messenger is installed - it isnt Bit of a weird one....when I get a moment, I'll try putting it back in the X2M folder - maybe it was my bad build (see other post somewhere) that caused it problems.Regards,N.
jobbie Posted October 13, 2004 Author Posted October 13, 2004 maybe the msi installer into the directory svc-msx we still try thanks anywayjobbie
GreenMachine Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 This is a strange one. I did have it working at one point (I thought), and then I, too, had no luck with it. For the time being, I'm adding this to the "Unsupported" list.On the other hand, I cannot find the download link. Anyone have it? If so, please post it here. Thanks.
jobbie Posted October 16, 2004 Author Posted October 16, 2004 the link for windows messenger 5 is:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=engood luck GM
GreenMachine Posted October 16, 2004 Posted October 16, 2004 Thanks, jobbie, for saving The Lazy GreenMachine from searching to far and hard!
tarquel Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 anyone had any more success with this yet and where to put it (and repack it if needed)?Also, there's a version 5.1 now:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=enRegards,N.
GreenMachine Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 Still haven't tried to add it. Anyone else?
homiebrah Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Wrap the .msi file in iexpress and place in SVC-EXE. Simple as that.The command line for iexpress setup is msiexec /qn /i messenger.msiIf you are using the file from the 5.1 download link in this thread.
Glowy Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 nope didn't work... there is a directory messenger in my %ProgramFiles% but there's nothing in it.but then again... none of my MSI files where installed.. now to figure out where the prob is...
homiebrah Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 What method do you use to install your .msi files?
