Praise be to God.

A-Patch has been updated for Windows Live Messenger 9.0 beta (14.0.3921.0717). Some options have been removed due to them not being needed and some options including the "Live Preview" have been temporarily disabled until a future A-Patch build.

Some new options have been added for removing the Photos button, the Groups button and the text which is alongside all those buttons on the toolbar.

i wasnt able to remove the messenger title nor the beta tag

[ahmz]

Messenger title only removed in non-maximized mode and i didn't add an option to remove the beta tag

[lordtinuviel]

hmm i have on a non max......not a big deal

[SnoopZ]

apatch kills WLM for me, everytime i try to open WLM after it has been patched i get this error message when trying to log in.

Uninstall, re-install and patch again, happened to me once for some reason, not sure why.

[:: Lyon ::]

About to try the leaked beta tonight heh heh :p

[lecter]

The new A-Patch definitely doesn't work for me, on 2 PCs reinstalling Messenger and then patching didn't solve the login issue...reinstalling Messenger and not patching is OK.

[Another Canuck]

Yeah, even with Build 3 of A-Patch now, it keeps causing me to be unable to sign-in.

Hello advertisements, I guess.

[lecter]

I remember on one beta it wouldnt let you login unless your account was actually chosen to be in the beta.

Yeah, but it doesn't seem to be the case now...i'm not in the beta and can login just fine if I don't use A-Patch.

I just tested.

1. Installed over A-Patched 8.5 Messenger

2. Used A-Patch

3. Unable to login

4. Removed EVERYTHING in the c:\program files\windows live\messenger folder

5. Installed WLM 9

6. A-Patched, working fine

I think the issue is that the old msidcrl40.dll from 8.5 was being restored from the A-Patch backup. Follow the steps above from point 4 and you should be able to login fine. This will be fixed in the next build.

Am I the only one who didnt get an invite? :p

Alas i did not either

Woohoo, works beautifully! Great work!

[SnoopZ]

Works here now also after removing the old Messenger folder. :)

[ahmz]

Sign in issue has been fixed in build 4, of course you will still need to clear the messenger folder and re-install messenger if you encountered this problem before using build 4.

[NetShaker]

If a second WLM window is opened, I can't login in that window (with a different account ofcourse).

Moving contacts bar to the bottom makes things a bit ugly btw, however great work.
