I am geting the following error message when starting
Windows Messenger:

".NET messenger service is not compatible with this
version of the program"

OS = WinXP embedded (HP Thin Client)
Messenger = Windows Messenger 4.7

Thanks in advance for any help!
 
What do you need .Net for? It's an optional download. If you're not using
..Net, then uninstall it through Add/Remove programs in the Control panel.

Greetings,

The version of Windows messenger that came with Windows XP (original retail or SP1) is no
longer compatible with the service. You'll need to upgrade to the latest here:

(Note: I'm not sure how you do this on embedded myself personally).

SH: Some programs require .Net 1.1 to work like nLite which
is an iso extracting software utility used for slipstreaming. But
developing .net 1.1 for XPE was a very recent project. And
using the windows xp pro version of .Net 1.1 may only work in
theory. I think the newsgroup mentioned below is a better resource.

From the newsgroup: microsoft.public.windowsxp.embedded

Question:
"On my XPe image,When signing onto to Messenger i get the following error:
"Signing into .net messenger service failed because the service is not
compatible with this version of the program."

Any idea what component im missing or need to upgrade?"

Answer:
There has been an update for Windows .Net Messenger (Hotfix Q824704).
Install this QFE Rollup if you have done that yet:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...E7-A2D9-4E75-B6BA-9570653F0891&displaylang=en
(also make sure you resolve all the component's dependencies)

SH: I remember seeing "WinXP embedded" before, somehow I

made a mistake and installed the evaluation of it for my desktop.

What type of computer do you have? You will need software

that is designed to run on WinXP embedded and I think there

are windows xp versions of programs different than WXE.

I think you can mix and match only if they say it will work,
programs are not 100% interchangeable. So do you have the
supported version of .Net 1.1 and have you installed the hotfix?

http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/usewinemb/xp/sprtproc/default.aspx
"Since Windows XP Embedded is based on the same binaries as Windows XP
Professional, many desktop resources also apply to your embedded development
cycle, including information about:

a.. The commodity x86-based hardware used for desktop development.
b.. Hardware drivers and specifications.
The following resources apply to the majority of Windows XP Embedded
runtimes. Visit the Windows Hardware and Driver Central Web site for more
information.

Although some of the articles listed below may not reference embedded
development, they are applicable, because Windows XP Embedded uses the
Windows XP Professional binaries. Other resources may be applicable only if
your runtime contains certain component dependencies."

(I only have a causal knowledge of this; pursue it in the other NG. If you
are

using a new device that had .Net 1.1 pre-installed then maybe just apply the
hotfix.)

Regards, Stephen

Greetings Joe,

They're referring to the .NET Messenger Service, not the .NET Framework.

Hi Stephen,

Uh, what's Windows CE-based Mobile devices got to do with Windows XP
Embedded?

It seemed to me that they both (XPE Win CE) use nearly the same error
message
to indicate that MSN Messenger needs to be upgraded as a solution to the
error message (ultimatum date: Oct.15, 2003):

"Windows Mobile-devices that require the update will show the following
error message upon attempted logon to the MSN Messenger Service:

"Logon to the Messenger Service failed because the service is not
compatible with this version of the program."

SH: Quoting from google:
