Installing 6.2 AND 7 by darkness_sam on 10-03-2004 at 02:10 PM
Does anyone know if it is possible to install both MSN Messenger 6.2 and 7 on the same PC? I wouldn't want to run them at the same time, just to use one when I don't feel like using the other (i.e. when i get assaulted with nudges 
)
Thanks
Sam

both you and your contact need msn 7 for this to happen. and i bet alot of your contacts don't have it. so i wouldn't worry about been assaulted
oh and to answer your question, yes u can have both on your computer. after your install 6.2, rename the folder to "msn messsenger 6.2" and then run the installer for 7. and u will have both on your computer
edit:
forgot some information
yeh (as a few people have said) both version need Polygammy patch otherwise it will come up with an error

I'd do it the other way round, hav 6.2 installed and just the msn 7 folder.

well i have both of them on my pc, but i get an error after installed 7 and then tried to run 6.2... it requested a re-install... so i did a re-install for 6.2 and then 7 would not work anymore... it requested for a re-install... so that's my story... can't have them both running at the same time... too bad 
RE: Installing 6.2 AND 7 by tomfletcherman on 10-03-2004 at 04:33 PM
7 doesn't work unless you have it installed, however 6.2 is fine when its not installed.
RE: Installing 6.2 AND 7 by Skillumination on 10-03-2004 at 04:38 PM
Yea I've got an error too. I renamed MSN Messenger to MSN Messenger 6.2 before installing 7. After installing, I tried to run 6.2 again while 7 was already running but it wouldn't go. It says the configuration is incorrect and reinstallation is necessary or something.. but I'll just stick with 7 for the moment, even though it's a bit hard without Plus!.

try having the Polygammy patch for both 6 and 7, then it should work, it worked for me. You can find them at Mess.be

I get "access denied to rename folder: Msn Messenger" and yes i am the computers administrator, well because we only have one account on our windows xp.

is msn running at the time ???
if so, exit it and then do it
and if not, boot your computer up in safe mode, and log on as admin

edit:yeah, i still cant get it to work. I patched both with polygamy, and when i go to the folder for msn 6.2 it opens 7 (after it installs itself again)
