RE: Messenger won't start

Hi

At this moment I got similar problem. Msmsgs.exe not starting.
My software
- original XP pro with all patches
- original Messenger files ver.4.7.0.3001 with date 2004-10-13
- network services enabled, firewall allow for msmsgs.

Hack with enablemessenger.reg files not work.
Not messages in event log and drwatson.
In windbg I see that msmsgs exits after check of mscoree.dll which not exist
on my system. I think that file mscoree.dll is not necessery so what I can
do?
