Windows Live Messenger Forum

It installs fine with me, but when i try and click the icon on my desktop it just does nothing. Any help or tips anyone?

Thanks

I agree, no problem installing, but running it doesn't work.

same for me :/

would it be possible to extract the installation folder from windows ?
or do i need more

i could probably sniff which dlls are created and the reg keys would it be possible to implement these ? and i might need dot net would it be possible to add this to the bottle so it works ?

i think the framework needed to get it to run, it should be in the bottle

I got it working via Wine following these instructions, but don't understand why it would work with Wine and not Crossover? I have both.

Well you know what we all say about CrossOver vs Wine: Just because they attempt the same goal they can't always do what one or the other might be able to. Works in CX it might not work in Wine and visaversa. CodeWeavers is a huge contributor to the Wine project but not the only ones, so as the two projects beniefit from each others continued growth we can all look forward to better comparability in the future!

Cant write my name and password itś just blank, Do I need to install some other stuff in the bottle.
(Download MSN Messenger version 7.5.0324 from filehippo and save it to your
home directory.) or should I use some other other install file for msn
