If anyone want to uninstall WLM '09 from computer (and its not listed in Programs and features) just open a cmd, navigate to Messenger.msi’s folder and simply type this command: msiexec.exe /x Messenger.msi

[Another info]
With some update of the master branch the user.py command changed a bit
the correct syntax of the command is this
python script/user.py email@service.com Username
Example
python script/user.py coolandgood@hotmail.com CoolGuy
The username can’t have spaces, or else the command will say an error.
The username thing has been added only for support with Yahoo! Messenger and doesnt change anything on Messenger (all versions, not only 2009)
Hope this helped you

Today the 9 year old asked to send messages on the computer again, so I fired up the Win7 virtual machine with everything pre-installed. I regenerated the certificates, re-patched the hosts file, and connected! Then the 6 year old wanted to connect, and while I was setting that up, the server went down. MSN gives error 81000395.
Since then I can’t even log on from localhost. I’m running python dev from cmd, the server says “Serving on 0.0.0.0:80, 1863, 1864, 4308”. No idea what just broke it.
Unfortunately I worry that I’ll have to give up again. Needing to store a 40GB VM on my laptop, recreating new certificates every time and copying them to each computer, and even then struggling to get the server to work is… a little frustrating. If there’s any other fully self-hosted messaging solutions that are easier to use, please let me know.

bump but whatever
either reenter your email and password, get the newest update on the branch which fixes this issue, or wait for wlm 2009 to offically come out since that will be happening soon.
if it’s 0.0.0.0:80 you need to add a irc port which is 6667 second
make sure to type in python dev and not run_all.py
here is one simple problem:
when i create a user, it just hangs up and does nothing. I’ve been waiting for the past hour. and this is what i get. Running Windows 10 Pro.
