Hi,how did you make the EXE file?
It was made using Tabmanager 2003 Compiler for MSN 6 by TC Software.
The newer builds of MSN 6 seem to show the directory name (the strange number) AND the Passport email address. Otherwise it’s a shot in the dark. Just keep applying it until it “sticks.”
And by the way, you don’t need to exit MSN Messenger first, although the installer will restart Messenger if you already have it running (closing all chat windows in the process… consider yourself warned!).
freddy I was trying to figure out an easier way of installing my MSN Tab, but with no luck, BUT I did manage to convert your Yahoo! Tab instructions into an installation file. Try it out – BigBlueBall Yahoo! Tab (1.11MB)
It puts in your registry entries, and puts the BBB icon in the correct folder. Users will still have to open Yahoo! Messenger, login>>preferences, “content” and add Big Blue Ball to the list after installation.
EDIT – took out those pesky spaces in the link – thanks DJ, I missed that. The install file is unneccessarily large compared to the 1 kb of info its actually installing, but I was bored and messin around, so take it or leave it, just thought it would be better for those newbies who aren’t as computer savvy as some of us.
Hey shifter, I was testing the exe out and for whatever reason it didn’t install the BBB icon for the tab. Can you check the exe to make sure it works properly or am I doing something wrong. I’m using Yahoo! IM version 5.6.0.1344 The tab content loads fine, but the tab icon is not appearing.
Yahoo tab icom problem fixed, the install file should work properly now. It was misspelling the location of the icon file in the registy entry. Get it here – http://www.shiftmedia.ca/BigBlueBall_Yahoo!_Tab.exe.
