Running 2 Msn Version On a Single PC? by albert on 02-16-2005 at 12:52 AM
hey all, I just wanted to ask if any one knows how to run 2 msn versions ( 2 different msn versions.. not polygamy.. ) on a single pc.. and this excluding windows messenger.. I'd appreciate it... thx!

It depends on which two versions. I guess you want MSN Messenger 6.2 and MSN Messenger 7.0 ?
I guess it could be possible with some creative tweaking, but i can't tell you how, never tried.

Yes you can, but not without polygamy. You need to patch both versions with polygamy after you install them.
Here's a quick todo:
1) Install one version of MSN Messenger
2) Patch it with polygamy
3) Rename the MSN Messenger directory to somethign else (eg. MSN MessengerZ)
4) Install the other version of MSN Messenger
5) Patch it with polygamy
6) Rename the folders of both Messengers if you wish. If you want the first MSN Messenger you installed to be the one that the shortcuts and etc. lead to, then name that folder MSN Messenger et vice versa.
There we go, a quick how to.
Thanks for your time.

mmm, What's the latest version of 6.2? (build)
Edit: nvm I got it.
Edit: won't let me, says theres a newer version of it and I downloaded it directly from the msn messenge site....
Edit: Works now, but please note that when you install one of them, intall 6.2 first, then 7.0.....
