MSN are killing off all old protocols and only supporting MSN8. Trillian Pro 1.0 uses either MSN5 or MSN6 and as they have the Pro 2 almost finished they are not going to patch Pro 1.0.
A patched new msn.dll for any users of the 0.74 version is also now available from the Trillian Forums.
I down loaded the new Trillian pro 2.0 and I have MSN 6.0 installed on my computer. However I am still getting the pop up from MSN saying I need to install MSN 6.0 . The first time I was not sure I had MSN 6.0 down loaded. ( cuz I’m really computer stupid but working hard not to be) So I went into my add remove and it was listed there. In saying that everytime I log into Trillian/MSN I get a window that pops up saying I need to down load MSN 6.0 . Now is there any ideas on how to go about stopping the Pop up? Oh and I have down loaded the patch too. Take care all Shell
Does anyone have the direct link to the msn.dll upgrade? The Trillian forums have been closed for a while.
Please read what is already posted here……….
Quote:quote:As Jim pointed out, once we have Trillian Pro 2.0 out, we’re going to do a Trillian 2.0 free edition derived from Trillian Pro 2.0. Free’s never been dead, but we seriously needed to rearchitect things — witness making everything Unicode compliant, rewriting the windowing code, and so on — and wanted to focus on doing that in Pro first, and making a resuable code base between the two versions.The MSN changes will therefore propagate to the Trillian free release, too. As for MSN’s motives, they’re actually quite reasonable. They’re not ‘blocking third party clients,’ they’re merely removing the expensive legacy support for really old-and-outdated versions of the MSN protocol to simplify their servers; any third-party client is still welcome to connect as long as they’re using the more recent versions of the protocol.
Pay attention to the last part of this post.

I’m afraid it’s not about the upgraded protocols… It goes beyond that and there are no garuntees from either side as to what will or won’t happen on October 15th:
“Cerulean Studios, maker of the Trillian IM client, is at the top of Microsoft’s hit list. Trillian enables users to consolidate multiple IM accounts in one client and is available in a free version, as well as a $25 Pro version that offers additional features. Trillian has been downloaded more than 10 million times, according to Cerulean Studios.
“Running an [IM] network is expensive,” says Lisa Gurry, group product manager for MSN at Microsoft. “We can’t sustain multiple other-people’s businesses, particularly if they charge for certain versions of their software. We’re introducing licensing processes for third parties like Trillian.”
Taken from http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=1093&e=8&u=/pcworld/112234 Under the bold heading: Target TrillianAm I to understand that even those that have upgraded to 2.0 are still getting the warning pop-up from MSN when running Trillian?
