Old Version

06-26-2005, 10:44 AM

I notice you have the older versions for download. How do you get them to work.

I was quite happy with 6.0 until I decided to upgrade the other day to 7.0

Now I constantly get some unknown script error every time I open it etc.

I'd like to go back to 6.0 but after install and trying to open it says I must upgrade to 7.

Is there a trick to getting the old one to work?

thanks

Yes, there is a way to get MSN Messenger 6.0 working again.

Download: Hex Workshop
Be sure to have MSN 6 exited before you use Hex Workshop.
Open MSN 6's msnmsgr.exe in Hex Workshop.
Click the Edit menu, and click Replace.
Click the Type arrow, and select Text String.
In the Find box, type the version of your MSN 6. (That also include the build number, i.e 6.0.0602)
In the Replace box, type 7.0.0813. Click OK. Click Replace All. Click OK. Exit Hex Workshop. Open MSN Messenger 6. You should now be able to sign in.

By slightly modifying this, I was able to get MSN 5 working flawlessly. You guys freaking ROCK!

Oldversion is the light in the darkness of the internet.
