Helping people with computers... one answer at a time.
Unless you have two computers running simultaneously you cannot run two different versions of MSN Messenger at the same time.
Can I run two versions of MSN messenger at the same time?

In a nutshell: no.
MSN Messenger is designed to replace it's previous version when installed. The only real solution I'm aware of if you absolutely require it would be to have two computers, each with a different version.

Get Messenger Plus Live! Add On
http://msgpluslive.net/
With that installed go into it's preferences and select "Polygamy".
Account Polygamy
Just check a box in the preferences of Messenger Plus! Live and you'll be up and ready for signing-ing into more than one Messenger account at the same time. No need to patch any file or use other Messenger clients anymore!
Hopefully LEO will amend his reply with this info!
