Quick guide for patching MSN Messenger 4.7.3001 for Escargot.

Open a hex editor (I recommend HxD), edit msnmsgr.exe, find and replace the following:

Code:
"messenger.hotmail.com" with "msnmsgr.escargot.chat"

"PassportURLs" with "Passporturls"

"https://nexus.passport.com/rdr/pprdr.asp" with "https://msnmsgr.escargot.chat/nexus-mock"

Part of me wants to look into why Escargot Switcher doesn't work with this version... yet it works absolutely fine with Windows Messenger 5.0+ (which to my knowledge, is almost identical).

To add to this, the minimum updates required to get XP SP3 to work with Escargot:

1. Apply the POSReady Registry patch:

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\PosReady]
"Installed"=dword:00000001


2. Download the TLS update from the Microsoft Update Catalog: KB4019276 update for POSReady 2009

3. Apply the TLS registry patch:

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.1\Client]
"DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.1\Server]
"DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Client]
"DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Server]
"DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000
