Unable to install Live Messenger in Windows XP box

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150004). Click OK to terminate the application

This error frustrated me when I try to install Windows Live Messenger version 2009 in my XP box. After googling for sometime, those information doesn’t help much, as I try to uninstall windows messenger, install dot net framework etc.
When the time i suspect it might be affected by virus or due to hardware problem, I try to update my Windows XP services pack from default services pack 2 to services pack 3, guess what…..
Hurray !!! it works now 🙂

p/s: Try to update your services pack when you face above problem during install Live Messenger

Extend jnlp signer certificate life

Netbeans will generate a signer certificate which life for six months (based on output warning it prompt: The signer certificate will expire within six months), anyway, there are ways to extend it either by signing your jar file using java keytools (tutorial available here), or change the configuration in jnlp.impl.xml file which generate automatically by Netbeans IDE when you build your project by “Enable Web Start” checked.


Here you go:

1. Look for the genkey node.


2. Add validity value into genkey node, for eg: genkey validity=”365″ means 365 days.

3. Clean and rebuild your project in Netbeans.
