Windows Live Messenger 9 Portable by drfakeacc on 12-16-2008 at 04:41 PM

I don't know if it already exists. I don't know if it will.
I didn't saw a Version of it on msgshit.com (wich is quite obvious, because WLM9 was released just a few days ago).

But I would really love it, if there would be a portable version of WLM 9.

I already captured the installation with Thinstall. I could share it with you, don't know if this is allowed here, so please tell me to remove, if it is.

I also got the "Messenger.msi", witch is I guess the "real" installation File, downloaded by the crappy "wlsetup-custom.exe".

So my Problem is now. How to make it portable?
I don't have any Idea about programming, and i don't think it's worth to learn, just to make WLM portable. :P


So I hope some others than me are interested in that topic, and may help me and everyone who wants a portable version of WLM!

I forgot, don't wonder. I have a german XP so you have to replace "Gemiensame Dateien" with "Common Files"

If you have already thinstalled the application and filtered out all the files you don't need, then created an .exe it should be portable. That is if all required dlls are in the package.
