This looks awesome, I was wondering when someone was going to make a messenger plugin.
Not to sound ungrateful, but a AIM plugin would be nice. I messed around with it before, but not enough time and it looks rather complicated.

looks like im the only who can use it. I will leave this project for a while and work on it later. I will probably reprogram the whole dll :/

Which version of MSN Mesenger are you using?

6.2 but the problem seems to come from the interop.MessengerAPI.dll which might to be registered. But im not sure i tried to register with regsvr32 and it gives an error. Im kinda busy to work on it right now...

Not sure how or why it works because all i have done is follow the instructions and download the extra file, i was having the original not functioning error but after putting the extra file in there it works a treat

Maybe it has to do with the .net framework.

I'm downloading it now, I got the error before, I'll post back after the 23MB download completes and I install it. Hopefully this'll work

After much yelling and cursing and swearing, I decided to check the forums as to why this damned thing doesn't work. I am running up to the bleeding edge on my software (XP Pro SP2, MSN Messenger 7.5, latest .Net framework). So what's the deal, any luck fixing this yet? I would certainly love to have this work on Messenger 7.5.

First off thanks for being interested into my plugin. However this plugin is really buggy as you can see and I temporarily stop working on it and even other plugins beacause I lack of time.
