Installing a skin with just a .dll file:

Don't let the .dll file put you off. A skin installer will do the exact same as these instructions do. Windows Live Messenger stores all the Messenger resources in msgsres.dll.

Close down Windows Live Messenger.

All the msgsres.dll files in our database are in a zipped folder. You need to unzip them. You will be left with a msgsres.dll file and maybe some other files.

Go into your Program Files directory and then into the MSN Messenger directory if you are using Windows Live Messenger 8.1 or below. If you are using Windows Live Messenger 8.5 or above you will need to go into the Windows Live/ Messenger directory. Rename msgsres.dll in that directory to something like 'msgsres_backup.dll'. This will become a backup of the current Messenger resources.

Copy and paste the msgsres.dll file you unzipped into your current directory.

Open up Windows Live Messenger and enjoy using your new skin.

To uninstall the skin you can either re-install Windows Live Messenger or simply delete the msgsres.dll file and rename your old backup ('msgsres_backup.dll') back to msgsres.dll.

Installing Messenger Plus! Live skins:

You will need to have Messenger Plus! Live version 4.50 and above to use Messenger Plus! Live skins. If you don't have this program I highly suggest getting it, the add-on is fantastic.

Download the skin pack, locate it and double click the icon to run it. You will need to be signed into Windows Live Messenger for the skin to install.

You will receive a prompt asking you if you want to install the skin. Once the skin is installed Messenger will restart with the skin running.

Installing a skin with an installer:

Installers are becoming less and less common, but they make it so much easier.

Run the file, they can be in French, but don't let that bother you, skins work with every language of Windows Live Messenger.

Of course installers vary. NSIS installers come with an uninstaller, some just self extract. You may need to re-install Messenger to get rid of the skin.
