She's just saying, in GENERAL a lot of Yahoo Messenger related programs she downloads always have missing files. Shifter was right for the most part, but to be more specific, most "Yahoo Programmers" meaning, most people who make programs that add on to Yahoo! Messenger make them with Visual Basic. This is a popular programming language because it is a lot simpler than a lot of other programming languages, being that you can put one thing and it can do a lot from it, unlike another language where as you have to declare every single thing at the start. But, the downside is that the users will need the add-on files that Visual Basic created programs use. Shifter is also correct in that we assume most people have the files, because, well, they do! But the people who don't get the error message and think that it is a fault in our program (usually). I will say that I for now on will include every file needed with it in a .ZIP.
