PLEASE REPLY!

Yes, you have.
Here, change 

XML code:

---

<MsgVersions>
                    <Version Major="8" Minor="5"/>
                </MsgVersions>

---

to

XML code:

---

<MsgVersions>
                    <Version Major="14" Minor="0"/>
                </MsgVersions>

---

[Current messenger version is 14.0.*.*, hence Major 14 Minor 0]

Also, some pictures and strings have changed their IDs since Messenger 8.5, check out the Extracted resources folder for updated IDs

Please check your skin info to see if the file extensions match: both filenames must be EXACTLY the same.
