You can install both, but you’d have to do some special trickery to do that.

@TReKiE has mentioned it somewhere, but I don’t remember where… :stuck_out_tongue:

auh,… it wont install if it is an older version…and i tried to install on windows7 then copy msn5.0 folder to new computer and it just opens 8.5 when i open exe

Yeah, you’re going to have to force quit the currently running MSN Messenger process before you launch another version. :stuck_out_tongue:

but im afraid to install it because it overwrites folders and files without asking for folder location… what do i do for that? just rename WLM folder?

also i want to run both at the same time

Yes. :stuck_out_tongue:

Download MSN Polygamy and use it on both copies of MSN Messenger. But do note that you cannot log in on both clients at the same time. :stuck_out_tongue:

12

but log in is what i wanted to do to run them both at the same time

13

Well, now you know you can’t login on both at the same time. :stuck_out_tongue:

i was able to do that on win7. i had wlm15 on it and didn’t want to uninstall it so i put 7.0 on a flash drive and put it in program files
