MemberHi there. I am receiving the following two errors using the program. Attached to this e-mail message are two screenshots with the errors I am receiving. Thanks for your time.
Jason Neskar
P.S. Below are two posts that I posted at Messenger Plus! Community Forums.
Hi Everyone! I am having a problem changing skins using MSN Messenger 6.1 – Windows X. I install the program then I choose a skin. Then I go to Add/Remove Programs and hit repair and try to pick a different skin but I get the following error. Everytime I want another skin I have to remove MSN Messenger 6.1 – Windows X and install it again and then select the skin I want. Attached to this post is the error I get. I’d really appreciate if you could help me solve this problem.
Hey Everyone! How to Hex Editor MSN Messenger so it installs to a different directory? I also want to know how to make another uninstallation entry for MSN Messenger. I want to install MSN Messenger 6.1 without skins with the mess.be custom games. The other installation would be Windows X which has skins.
P.S. It is happening to my normal MSN Messenger installation.

ParticipantJason, I removed your duplicate of this post as the problem seems to mainly be with Windows X and one post should suffice. You are basically using an unsupported hack of MSN Messenger. The problem likely lies in the developers hands, there is little we can do. Your best advice is to simply pick a skin and install it without using the repair function, or simply use the official version of MSN Messenger.

MemberI still get the problem even with the regular MSN Messenger.

According to this statement you only recieve an error after doing a repair. Is this not true? Does Windows X install without errors?
Have you tried all of the solutions from Error Code 1601/1603 Solutions?

MemberYeah they install properly. I get the same error but when repairing. No of them have solved the problem.

ParticipantHuh? Your post doesn’t make any sense. Either it installs properly (with no errors) or it doesn’t. Which is it?

MemberIt installs properly. When I try to repair it gives me the error.

ParticipantSo don’t repair…problem solved.
Why do you need to repair? Is there another problem? If you must have a new skin, you can always uninstall and reinstall.

Yeah but I want to eliminate that error from my computer.
P.S. I deleted the registry key on Tuesday for {874793FC-5F43-496A-8FE7-18C4DB9B143D}, HRESULT: -2147024864 but accident. Can someone please tell me what register key should be created for {874793FC-5F43-496A-8FE7-18C4DB9B143D}, HRESULT: -2147024864? This might be the reason I am getting error. I thought if I got rid of it, it would remove the error. I would really appreciate if someone could help me out here. Thanks for your time.

ParticipantYour question doesn’t make sense. If you want to eleminate the error, don’t repair. There’s not much else we can tell you. We can help you with the official version of MSN Messenger, but its pretty much hopeless to try to troubleshoot a 3rd party program such as Windows X.
As for your registry troubles, there isn’t anything we can do. You should always backup your registry before making any changes. My advise is to completely uninstall all MSN Messenger programs and reinstall, this should recreate any registry keys related to MSN Messenger.

MemberOK Thanks anyways. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing solves it.
