MSN Messenger 7.0 Beta leaked!

[jumpers]

Aren't you allowed to edit posts here? or am I blind?

This one should work if Messenger is on a drive other than C and you get error 76, and I added beta tag remover. Anything else worth removing?

Still getting the same error :(

[Windows X]

Animated gif still in tune. I'm sure MS is trying to make it now because I found all frame are compressed in 96x96 square.

lol... are you mod there or something?

Anyways, I have been trying to add custom winks and I managed to extract the default wink content.

1) Open ResourceHacker

2) Open msgslang.dll

3) Go to section WINK and click on a random number.

4) You'll see weird text, hex, so far so good

5) Click Action - Save resource as binary file

6) Enter name wink.zip and save it to desktop

7) Check out the content. It uses Flash with XML and png for preview

Here the XML Content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><package xmlns="http://messenger.msn.com/messengercontent/1.0" version="1.0" type="wink" xmlns:wink="http://messenger.msn.com/winks/1.0" wink:version="1.0" contenttype="D"><item type="animation" mimetype="application/x-shockwave-flash" file="balloon.swf" /><item type="thumbnail" mimetype="image/png" file="WaterBalloon.png" /></package>

Someone take it over from here :)

I just found out that the "winks" are cab files, that might help more.

Edit: i just saw you already found out they are compressed files, they are cab though

possible to remove only the search bar and MSN Today and keep the add contact bar there?  I have removed tabs and ad bar just want to remove those other two but keep that add contact bar

and

Is there any way you can make it so you can choose what patches you want applied because i like it so i can have all the patches in one but i dont really want the actions pane thing to be gone so maybe a check box or something so you can choose what things to patch

Yes: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...ost&p=584665084

How it was done? And where is that downloader?

[vcd2k4]

in vb add reference called messenger content installer api type library

the api have a sub called install content and the info of the sub is "Sub InstallContent(bstrURL As String) Default member of MessengerContentInstallerLibrary.MessengerContentInstaller Download content to the client from a CAB file."

code

'Declaramos la api
Public WithEvents msn As MessengerContentInstaller

Private Sub Command1_Click()
'Instalar paquetes
msn.InstallContent "http://tuweb.com/wink.cab"
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
'Iniciamos la api
Set msn = New MessengerContentInstaller
End Sub

Private Sub msn_OnContentInstalled(ByVal lhrResult As Long)
'Devuelve el codigo de error de la instalaci?n
MsgBox lhrResult
End Sub

doesn' work!!

[Frash]

The_Decryptor: Yeah WinRAR is vague with that, I thought wtf it cant be zip because it didnt wanted to add files (only rar/zip supported for that) so I was like it has to be CAB, MS :D

[Frank84]

works ok for me..

only no games..

still not using delux pics

not plus compatible ( waiting for patchou new version)

no more active menu

funny cards + 2 smilies (what i could found)

i am happy for the ++patch 03 (mastaline.be)

i hope the official will be still free.

Yea it will be :)

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Dont post a link

[Colin-uk Veteran]

downloading now at a painfully slow speed :pinch: (not even 1kb)

[DoNuTs]

It's pretty good :)

[thisispete]

it doesnt seem that good to me.

not everyone has it, and the features are worth warranting not being able to use MSN plus

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Has anybody gotten the content installer working, i used to get to 80% or something, then it would stall, now it wont even get to 0%
