it's possible... i just did it after following the instructions

i dont see how let me talk ya through it.

as it says i only have 6.2 installed i installed a polygamy patch although i dont know if its the right 1 as none of them are clearly marked as compatable with 6.2 only 6.1. i then renamed the folder to by adding 6.2 at the end as instructed then installed msn 7.0 and it overwrites my messenger 6.2 so therefore it cannot be accomplished.

hmm interesting. 7.0 is only supposed to install it to Msn Messenger not Msn Messenger 6.2. so therefore, you must change the target for the installation of 7.0 yourself to Msn Messenger. and anyway remember put the patch onto 7.0 so that u can sign in

but ur missing the point the 7.0 installer doesnt have the option to determine the target directory it puts it where it feels like putting it its the only installer ive ever seen that does have a destination path screen.

but anyway, just to let you know, after i patched msn 7.0 with the polygamy, i repaired it with the installer as there was some trouble. then i ran it. after that, i could open msn 6.2 too. so all you have to do is just to repair it first and run it BEFORE you run 6.2, like what i do. funnily the repair does not cover polygamy.

im having them both running together now.

Cool  RE: 2 versions of msn installable?
hi there

well right now i cant even retry this proceedure my computers died the hard drive is undetectable therefore i cant boot my machine it looks like its going to take a total reformat of the computer to fix it which ill only be able to do if i can by some miracle get the drivers for my hard drive from the computer manufacturer "thepcmanuk.com" meanwhile i am using my dads pc to go online and for my every day stuff. anyways what good is running both messengers when 7.0 forces you to reinstall 6.2 everytime you try to do a sign in?
