16) Go to the versions folder
17) Copy and paste the 1.5.2 folder and rename the copy to BTWMod4-ABCEEEFAb (or whatever the version is that you're using)
18) Go into the folder

22) Change "id": "1.5.2", to "id": "BTWMod4-ABCEEEFAb",
23) Save and close the file
24) Open up BTWMod4-ABCEEEFAb.jar file in WinZip/WinRAR/7-Zip
25) Delete the META-INF folder
26) Copy all the files in the BTWMod4-ABCEEEFAb\MINECRAFT-JAR\ folder into the jar file
27) Close WinZip/WinRAR/7-Zip
28) Run the launcher for a 3rd time
29) Click on "Launch options"
30) Click on your instance
31) Change the Version from "release 1.5.2" to "release BTWMod4-ABCEEEFAb"
32) Click "Save"
33) Click on "News"
34) Enjoy BTW again

Upgrading:
- Follow steps 17 to 31, but change the name to match the new version

Recommended:
- Gilberreke's Legacy Skin Support - viewtopic.php?f=12&t=9365

Troubleshooting:
- Its best to start with a clean .minecraft folder (backup just in case)
- If you want to play Minecraft versions other than BTW, then use the Game folder setting to put them in a different folder to prevent issues such as losing all your BTW blocks in a world or corrupting your instance

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears above that you're linking to Mojang's resources. Can't do that man.

PM me if that's not the case, and it sucks if this is the only solution, but I can't let the forums be used for piracy .
