Nucleus Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 MSN Messenger has the bad habit to start after the installation. But I don't want that. So after searching the forums, I found thisREG ADD %KEY%\040 /VE /D "MSN Messenger v7.0.0816" /fREG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\Messenger\Messenger.msi /qb" /fREG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 2 /D "pskill.exe msnmsgr.exe" /fThat doesn't work for me. I get an error message saying something about pskill (can't remember what)Is there any other way of making MSN Messenger NOT start after the first installation?

mouvda Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 That doesn't work for me. I get an error message saying something about pskill (can't remember what)<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Your error about pskill is its soft is missing : it isn't a default soft from MS.Integrate its in your UA, and it will work(pref into system32 ).

Marthax Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 why not use taskkill? it's a default windows component. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totoymola Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Hey no offence to the users, but imho, MSN Messenger (and Windows Messenger!) is a very stubborn and annoying piece of s**t. I have no problem deleting the registry entry on the "run", but it still tries to find a way to recreate the deleted entry! Anyway, I have some suggestions regarding the automatic launch after the installation. You are on the right path, I don't see anything wrong with your PSKill command. Just make sure that you have the PSKill executable in yoiur system32 folder. Also, I think you can modify the msi to remove the property that launches the software after installation.
