Hey all,

Since Microsoft now block the 7.5 client, i've decided to release a fix for those whom hate/dislike Live Messenger.

Just download this EXE to your MSN Messenger folder. It's probably in best interest you rename it to msnmsgr.exe instead of msn2.exe
You may get a repair messenger window upon starting. Just press cancel and continue.
I don't know what happens when you repair but there is a chance the EXE will be overwritten.

For those who don't trust my EXE and whatnot, you can manually edit the MSN exe using Reshacker.
Just simply go to version info and change 7.5.0395 or whatever it is to 8.1.0178.

My settings are as follows.

QUOTE
1 VERSIONINFO
FILEVERSION 8,1,178,0
PRODUCTVERSION 8,1,178,0
FILEOS 0x4
FILETYPE 0x1
{
BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
{
BLOCK "040904B0"
{
VALUE "CompanyName", "Microsoft Corporation"
VALUE "FileDescription", "MSN Messenger"
VALUE "FileVersion", "8.1.0178"
VALUE "InternalName", "msnmsgr"
VALUE "LegalCopyright", "Copyright © Microsoft Corporation 1997-2004"
VALUE "LegalTrademarks", "Microsoft® is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the U.S. and/or other countries."
VALUE "OriginalFilename", "msnmsgr.exe"
VALUE "ProductName", "MSN Messenger"
VALUE "ProductVersion", "8.1.0178"
}
}

BLOCK "VarFileInfo"
{
VALUE "Translation", 0x0409 0x04B0
}
}
