[wpkg-users] Windows Live Messenger

[Hugo Monteiro]

Hello list,

I've tried every way i could find, through google, to install the latest 
version of Windows Live Messenger, without luck.
One of the methods i followed was installing the software locally, in 
one workstation, and then copying the .msi files found in the .cache 
directory. I then tried to install them with the following .xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<packages>

<package
   id="messenger"
   name="Windows Live Messenger"
   revision="00007"
   reboot="false"
   priority="10">

   <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Windows Live 
Messenger" />

   <install cmd='RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection 
%windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove' />

   <install cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\messenger\crt.msi" /q' />
   <install cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\messenger\choiceguard.msi" /q' />
   <install cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\messenger\SegoeFont.msi" /q' />
   <install cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\messenger\WLXSuite.msi" /q' />
   <install cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\messenger\wllogin.msi" /q' />
   <install cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\messenger\wlc.msi" /q' />
   <install cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\messenger\Contacts.msi" /q' />
   <install cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\messenger\dw20shared.msi" /q' />
   <install cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\messenger\Messenger.msi" /q' />

   <upgrade cmd='RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection 
%windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove' />
   <upgrade cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\messenger\crt.msi" /q' />
   <upgrade cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\messenger\choiceguard.msi" /q' />
   <upgrade cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\messenger\SegoeFont.msi" /q' />
   <upgrade cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\messenger\WLXSuite.msi" /q' />
   <upgrade cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\messenger\wllogin.msi" /q' />
   <upgrade cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\messenger\wlc.msi" /q' />
   <upgrade cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\messenger\Contacts.msi" /q' />
   <upgrade cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\messenger\dw20shared.msi" /q' />
   <upgrade cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\messenger\Messenger.msi" /q' />

   <remove cmd='RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection 
%windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove' />

</package>

</packages>

Note: The RunDll32 command is there to remove the original version of 
Windows Messenger


The procedure starts to install the components, but stops at the 
installation of dw20shared.msi, which apparently is the Microsoft 
Application Error Reporting Tool.

Can someone shed some light over this?

Best regards,

Hugo Monteiro.
