Uninstall Windows Messenger

Guest

After a new (clean) install of wXP Pro I run the following command in order
to uninstall Windows Messenger:

runDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchInfSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

However the only I receive is the next DLLError message:
"Error in advpack.dll Missing entry: LaunchInfSection"

The funny thing is that I have used that command a few times in previous wXP
clean installations and Windows Messenger has been uninstalled succesfully.

I know that I can use the Control Panel > Add/Remove components method to
remove Windows Messenger. However I'm looking for an answer on why the
LaunchInfSection entry is missing, and how to replace it in order to
uninstall Windows Messenger the way I want.

Thanks.

The "LaunchINFSection" is case sensitive

Try

runDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

Case sensitive! Can you beat it!

Thanks
