The decision made was that basically 6.0 stinks way too much and is full of ads and other 3rd party crap to be worked on by middle_man.

No, I know that. I was just wondering if it's a still just as bad as triton, where it had 3 of 4 services just to run the freakin thing.

[quote=Portfolioso]Yeah it checks the version of AIM before it loads. I always "ignore the rules" when testing things and wanted to see how it worked on other versions of AIM, but it didn;t

This is caused by the major changes AIM did with 5.9 as opposed to the others.[/quote]

Couldn't you still manually install it by copying the dll file over to the right directory, then just adding it to the "file that has the list of other files to run on startup that I can't remember the name of"?

No, the installer doesn't check the AIM version. The OCM does, and when it detects that its being loaded into a non 5.9, it won't load.
