tom01 Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 not sure what the deal is. Panda and Avast say Win32 Trojan down loader!! It's more than likely because I unpacked the messenger .MSI installer and repacked it with patched files to remove the advertisements. EDIT: Actually, if needed to prove it's clean I will upload the source.

tom01 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 No big deal. I'm working on a new method of install now, should take the installer down to 14MB and half the install time and maybe remove all traces on uninstall. Shame about the first post though saying it was malware. Seems to have killed of the interest abit! Also, new link added.

Joni_78 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 How would I do it manually? I have clean install and would hate to run WLM installer in it. I extracted Windows Live\Messenger folder from my last install backup image into Program Files and also sirenacm.dll into System32 dir. WLM launches but is unable to sign in. What else do I need to do? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/767184-windows-live-messenger-alternative-installer/#findComment-591040978 Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUJ!N Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Will this version work on Windows server 2003? If not, could you make it working for w2k3 too ?
