Hi, i wanted to try out windows messenger 5 because i often use 2 msn accounts at the same account. I wanted to use handwriting on both so i tried this out. I downloaded it from the microsoft website, then installed it. Near the end it asked me to close a process called ccapp.exe i agreed to it, and it installed fine and i could logon. The next day i tried it out, it wouldnt start, instead it gave me an installer which came up with an error while starting..
Then it keeps trying to install and the only way to stop it is by closing it via the processes bit on task manager, msgs.exe
I'll give the specific error code if you want it, and help would be much appreciated as i dont want to have to use a 3rd party program like JNZR loader to use multiple MSN.

Jrnz isn't for multiple accounts. Download windows X's edition and you can use MSN Messenger for as many different accounts as you want

I thought jrnzloader was for signing in as appear offline?

You actually do learn something everyday. I still say Windows X's edition is best for this kinda thing though.

Back on topic though, has anyone thats downloaded Windows Messenger 5 had these problems?

to be totally honest you shouldn't have Windows Messenger 5. Thats the corparate edition. Really you should be on 4.7

Exactly, so how do i role it back?

As i want my old windows messenger 4.7 back.

You would have the get the old .exe
try oldversions.com

Bah, its only to msn on there, ill try on the microsoft site.

It wouldnt let me uninstall 5.0, but during installation of 4.7 it uninstalled it. Annoyingly it wont sign in claiming the sign in name or password doesnt exist, yet i sign into MSN messenger fine. Strange...

Straiting some things up (mostly for GiantSpider):

Handwriting Plugin doesn't work properly with Windows Messenger.

JnrzLoader is originaly being made to be able to have multiple logins (polygamy) without Patching MSN Messenger. A added feature is the signing in with "offline".

Windows X's Edition has a basic polygamy patch (just the same as you can download on mess.be), just as Choli described. So using Windows X just to have polygamy is seriously overkill. Just install the polygamy patch and you have exactly the same beheviour as Windows X without all the hasle of installing all the skins and the problems you might get with it...

Who said that somebody can't use Windows Messenger 5 just because he hasn't a corporation????? Windows Messenger 5 is "pointed" at corporations, it doesn't mean you can't use it as an individual. In fact winmsgr 5 and 4.7 are different programs with different options. Just use the one which suits you the best.

Windows Messenger 4.7 isn't old! It is also "a" latest version of Messenger... just like there is a latest version for Windows Messenger 5, MSN Messenger 6.2 and MSN Messenger for Mac...

I cant logon to windows messenger...
It says sign in name or password doesnt exist, yet i can log on fine to MSN messenger.

GiantSpider fight's back:
Windows X is good for the skins. I probably would have recomended it anyway. What by the Windows Messenger thing is that it's mainly the corparate edition. And since there is a version 6 you could say 5 is old.

Theres a version 6?

But can i stress yet again i want my windows messenger to work!! Ive neevr had a problem with the msn and windows messengers both with plus installed and both signed in... Ive tried closing MSN mesenger then just using windows then signing in, but to no avail...

It seems i might just have to resort to polygamy

Version 6 was leaked onto the web with a build of Longhorn

That would explain why its not on the microsoft site

How are these things leaked onto the web, surely ms would be able to stop their next version of windows getting leaked?

Well it's not Microsoft it's there BETA testers. But anyway let's try to get back ontopic now. You can get polygamy of mess.be. However this is illegal.

Does this mean that microsoft wont come knocking on ur door and confiscating ur comp?

What are the legallitys about this? Ive heard you're not allowed to patch certain parts of Msn messeneger, msg plus stays within these, so what does JNZR do thats wrong?

Ok then, ive got windows messenger working by reinstallling it, both msna and windows sign in fine, widows works completely fine i think. But everytime i open a msn convo with MSN it starts the Windows msger 5 install ive really got wrong now...

JnrzLoader stays within these bounderies also. Like I said, it doesn't change anything physicaly in msnmsgr.exe. It alters some small thing in memory. Technicaly this is also patching, but it wont alter the msnmsgr.exe in anyway.

The same thing can be said about Plus!. It changes something in memory (in this case it's called hooking) so you can have other/more features. Plus! also changes things like JnrzLoader does, it adds things to menu's.

So, JnrzLoader is as (il)legal as Messenger Plus!...

I meant it in the literal way "changing"... if something is added/removed, something has changed (no matter what method is used)...

There is indeed still a difference between JnrzLoader and Plus!. But the point I was trying to make is that JnrzLoader isn't realy illegal (it is, but it isn't... ah crap... blah... I give up )

yep, i get you , cookie. Jnrz can be or not illegal, however plus isn't (it doesn't change any part of the code of msg)
