Hey all. As you may know, Vista Home (Basic and Premium) doesn't come with MSG.EXE, the replacement for Net Send in XP systems. However, I feel it's kind of necessary, and I need it for a couple of things...

Basically, could someone who's really nice and has Vista Ultimate/Business please get the MSG.EXE (C:/Windows/System32/MSG.EXE) and upload it? I've tried looking around teh internetz for it, but I haven't had any luck... It was quite pointless leaving it out of Home versions IMO, but that's MS for you

Cheers

Here you go.

Thank you, much appreciated

EDIT: It isn't working for me, it's giving an error saying that it may not be the correct OS...have you 32 or 64 bit?

Guess they aren't that stupid.

I think it's for a 64 bit OS only...mine's 32 bit

Thanks anyway Could anybody really kind with a 32-bit Vista Ultimate/Business please upload their msg.exe

Sorry, it was for 64-bit system. Here's the one for 32-bit.

Thanks a million, works now :lovies3d:

Nice bump

Anyways, i happened to try this yesterday since i was bored as hell. There is no way to use just cmd for sending messages thru lan. It was removed in Vista since it was not secure. People should/must use some other net send program. I happened to try "Net Send GUI", but both sides must have this and opened/working.

I googled about that and this is what i found out in microsoft forums, written my microsoft network manager or some guy.

it's called spam.

i tried this in windows 7 64-bit and it gave an error message of {Message(): LoadString failed, Error 15105, (0x00003B01)}. Could anyone upload the one for windows 7 64-bit or give a link to it.

In this case ur doing it wrong

Took about few seconds, first search: http://www.bestsoftware4downlo ... nt-download-xcvtgtwa.html

Thanks, but sent only sends messages to winsent, windows messenger service, and winpopup. None of those are on windows 7, and I dont want to have to install winsent on all of the computers. I just wanted the msg.exe that comes with windows 7 business 64-bit. Im downloading the retail version of windows 7 ultimate right now, and i will extract the program after it finishes and publish it here.

I found them, but i still get {Message(): LoadString failed, Error 15105, (0x00003B01)}.
