O.P. RE: VirtualizedCheck
Provide a better one, please?



Now I have done the following.
  1. I have downloaded the Microsoft IE6 Application Compatibility VHD image and set up a clean virtual machine.
  2. Second, I installed VMware ThinApp in 60 day evaluation mode and took the initial snapshot.
  3. Then I downloaded and installed the latest Windows Live Messenger 2009 using the Web Installer.
  4. After that, I launched WLM and minimized the sign-in window.
  5. Next, I have installed Messenger Plus! Live 4.81.358, which exited Messenger automatically.
  6. Finally, I have started Messenger and quit it, so the Messenger Plus! registry keys are created.
  7. I added GlobalSettings\SafeHook dword 1 and GlobalSettings\DisplayWizardFirstStart dword 0.
  8. Now I took the second snapshot and packaged the thing.
The result: Messenger starts, but can't sign in. Messenger Plus! is invisible, although its loader should be in the package.

Maybe you can reproduce this, and/or work on this example.
(There are more portable-packaging programs, I just took one of them.)
