Is there anyway to access the messenger client directly through a script rather than using the function provided by Plus?

For example I want to access function like: MessengerClient.SendTextMessage(txt, recipient)

but also others as well.

Is it possible or does it need to be a program?

MessengerClient is only for add-ins.

So it would have to be an exe? (similar to how plus works I guess)

You can access messenger, but I'm not sure about the WLM control. I used ActiveX to get stuff from messenger in the past though

In previous versions of Windows Live Messenger, there were a hidden feature (that required registry changes to show up). This feature allowed developers to develop their own "add-ins" using this API in dotNet. However the feature was removed not so long ago. You cannot access it from scripts neither from DLLs or EXEs.

Stuffplug 3 had a feature to enable this API to non-dotNet applications, but that feature was also removed due to security reasons.
