An often recurring problem with Messenger Plus! Live Skin Pack is that PLSK is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that PLSK files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PLSK file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Windows Live Messenger
In this case, you should first verify that the Windows Live Messenger application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Windows Live Messenger into the system search engine.

Programs to open PLSK file
Remember to download programs supporting PLSK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Windows Live Messenger with PLSK files
If, despite the installed application, the PLSK file does not start in the Windows Live Messenger application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Windows Live Messenger application as the default for handling the PLSK file.
Step 3. Update Windows Live Messenger to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Windows Live Messenger program with the Messenger Plus! Live Skin Pack file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PLSK file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PLSK file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PLSK or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected PLSK file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PLSK file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PLSK files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Patchou, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PLSK files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the PLSK file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the PLSK file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
