Hi guys,

I am new to this forum but definitely not new to beta testing. I need some assistance from u guys.

Can we use both MSN 7.5 and WLM 8.0 on the same machine. I have heard that we can but could someone guide me how to do it.

Main problem is my bro and I use the same comp but I am a beta tester and he is not. So I had to remove WLM 8 bec he cant sign in.

Thanks for ur support.

Basically When you only have MSN 7.5 installed on your PC the folder should be

C:/Program Files/MSN Messenger

but Windows Live Installs in


C:/Program Files/MSN Messenger

as well



So what I do is change the MSN 7.5 directory to


C:/Program Files/MSN Messenger 7.5

and then install Windows Live Messenger...which should install in


C:/Program Files/MSN Messenger



So in a nutshell

Change MSN Messengers Directory (C:/Program Files/MSN Messenger) to
C:/Program Files/MSN Messenger 7.5

and then install WLM

Thanks SonicSam that was mighty quick.

What I did was I copied the entire folder msn messenger from c:\program files\msn messenger to c:\msn messenger and then installed WLM 8.0.

But what I was doing was I was opening msn 7.5 when WLM 8.0 was already running so it would open WLM 8.0 again.

Right now I exited WLM 8.0 and opened msn 7.5 from c:\msn messenger and it works!

Thanks for ur quick reply and support...!

No problem

MSN messenger 7.5 is in the C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger folder.

Rename that folder to something like MSN Messenger 7.5

And then install WLM and itll be installed in the folder C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger

Ok, I have done that many times, thanks anyways.

Did it work? If not try this, I'll post my method in details.

Install MSN Messenger 7.5 or whatever MSN Messenger version you want. Then navigate to the Program Files folder. Right click on MSN Messenger and hit COPY. Then go to like My Documents or wherever you want to, and right click and hit paste. Then install Windows Live Messenger.

Then all you have to do is go where you copied the MSN Messenger folder, and run the msnmsgr.exe file.

Simple as that .

Tell me if this helps you or not.

Mmm MSG Plus, should continue working right???
