Windows Live Messenger Won't Launch From Dock

I've had this problem with ObjectDock, Y'z dock, and now rklauncher. I was wondering if someone knew of a workaround or a fix.

When I try to launch Windows Live Messenger (the new MSN beta) from a dock, it brings up a DOS console and then gives me the error:

C:WindowsINSTAL~1{63337~1MsblIco.Exe

The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.

And then I can choose to close or ignore. Ignore just makes the error come up again.

Does anyone know how I can get WLM to launch from a dock application? Thanks.

Check the path where the docklet links to, and post it here.

Check the path where the docklet links to, and post it here.

C:WINDOWSInstaller{633372EE-FB01-48AC-A986-5CB03E56A53D}MsblIco.Exe

The shortcut on my desktop/in my start menu lists the location simply as "Windows Live Messenger"

A ha, I just set the path to C:Program FilesMSN Messengermsnmsgr.exe and it worked fine. Not sure why the WLM shortcut tries to obscure the path the MSN, but there you go!
