1. Install MSN Messenger 7.5 (If you already have it installed you don’t need to)

2. Rename the MSN Messenger folder to MSN Messenger 2 (usually located in C:\Program Files\)

3. Install Windows Live Messenger.

4. Apply a polygamy patch A-Patch to both Messengers, or to the one you plan to open second.

5. Then change all the paths of the shortcuts to MSNM 7.5 to C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger 2\msnmsgr.exe.


Search next time, this has been asked many times.

Just thought i'd say, I usually rename the folder to 'MSN Messenger 7.5' instead of 'MSN Messenger 2'

I'm afraid you will have to make your own short cuts..

this can be done by right clicking "msnmsgr.exe" in the 7.5 and choosing create shortcut.
