LEAKED: Windows Live Messenger 8.5, language trick
Inky says:
Today an internal build of Windows Live Messenger 8.5 was leaked by Messenger Addictos, a site dedicated to Windows Live Messenger and related products.
The new build includes a completely new installer system (though it appears it might need some tweaking). Messenger itself also got a complete overhaul, featuring a new UI that combines the best of Windows Live and Vista. The new build also includes several minor new features, some of which are still unknown. Unfortunately support for Plug-Ins (or “Add-Ins”) has been dropped.
The leaked build is only available in Spanish at the moment, but if you managed to download it somewhere, you can copy the old language file (“msglang.dll”) of Windows Live Messenger 8.1.0178 over the new one (“msglang.8.5.1235.0517.dll”). Note that the installation directory has also been changed to "C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger" making the transition from MSN Messenger to Windows Live Messenger complete.
Note: The new build does not appear to be compatible with Messenger Plus!, so if you have obtained the new version somewhere then you won’t be able to compete for cool prizes in the Messenger Plus! Live competition, mentioned earlier on Mess.be.
Pulling an “all nighter” I’m 7 hours past my bedtime with a sore back, but I made it, A-Patch has been updated for Windows Live Messenger 8.5!
With a new (beta) version of Windows Live Messenger (8.5) comes a new and improved A-Patch. A-Patch makes patching Messenger easier than ever before. Not only are there tonnes of options to choose from, but now there’s a (rough) Preview which lets you see the changes as you select them! (A change log will be added once I’ve come back from work and caught up on some sleep.)
as per my usage .. works pretty well . no support for now playing though for me. from wmp10 or from my foobar . are there any plugins available for foobar and live messenger 8.5 ? i found it more responsive to opening and closing of chatwindows .
