Rename the MSN Messenger folder to f.e MSN Messenger 6, then install MSN 7

MSN 7 will be installed in the default MSN folder (it will recreate it).

Not at the same time no. But if mootenn only wants to have a choice wich one to use then it's not needed.

Edit: to have both icons on desktop go to the renamed folder > rightclick msnmsgr.exe > copy to > desktop

Aslong as only one at the time is used there won't be any complications. No need to patch if it aint needed.
