Updated on 3rd October 2008 to include instructions for both Windows XP and Windows Vista.  If you are using Windows Vista, please download again and read the updated installation notes.

File Information 

The installer and zip file has been tested on Windows XP and Windows Vista and scanned for viruses using Panda Antivirus 2007 and Trend Microsystems Housecall. No viruses or warning were found. After installation we also scanned with Ad-aware 2008 and no instances of spyware was found.

Every wink and mood on MSN Giggles has been tested using this installer program.

Please note that you only have to install this once on every computer and you can then install any wink or mood from any pack on our website at any time.

When installing, windows will give you a message stating that the file could potentially be unsafe.  This is due to the installation file not being recognised by windows and is quite common with smaller quick installer programs like this one and it is actually ok to install.

Important Note if you use Windows Vista.

For security, whenever you need to configure Vista settings, you need elevated privileges even if you are an administrator.  Before you can complete a task, the User Account Control manager pops-up with a 'Continue' message.

This enables you to wear two 'hats'.  Firstly, when using your computer, you can run your applications like an ordinary user.  Secondly, whenever you need to put on your Administrator's hat, UAC prompts you and all you have to do is click 'Continue' and receive permission to complete that one task.  It is this User Access Control which prevents the winks installer from working on vista.

A workaround for this is included in the installation notes and we recommend you download the installer again for the updated files.
