Windows Messenger 4.7 Support

I have created an account,ticked the Old MSN checkbox and applied the registry patch on the homepage. However i get this error.


I ran the troubleshooter on XP and here is the log:

It says that 4.7 on XP is not supported so I tried installing 4.7(using the link on the homepage) on Windows 10 and got the same error.The autopatcher also gets stuck at Backing Up Files. So it seems there is a problem with 4.7 support in general. Any suggestions?

Escargot doesn’t work very well with Windows XP. There are posts on here from a few months ago explaining why it doesn’t work that well. The only versions I have gotten to work on XP are 1.0 and 6.2, I think.

I have installed 7.5 on XP and it’s fully working.

windows Messenger 4.7 are not working with escargot :frowning:

also 7.0

I have MSN 3.6 working on my Windows XP VM very well.

EDIT: Just upgraded to 4.6.0073.

BUMP REE. I hate how i can’t post it

Oh yea. My account does not support legacy versions and MSN 5.1 works for me.

MSN 5.1 uses the new auth method and MSN 4.6 and older use the older auth method
