O.P. Portable Messenger
Hi everyone!

I have been a user of Portable Firefox for a while, and loved the way you could launch Firefox at any location, at anytime providing you had Computer and Internet access.

I downloaded the source code to see how it was written, and after a  few hours I understood the basis of the code. At the same time my friend asked me wether I had a Portable version of MSN Messenger, I told her about Messenger Live! She didn't like it.

We all know Messenger Live! sucked big time, it was a program that was create in what I can only guess to be under a minute using WinRAR. I then thought, that if Firefox can be made portable using code than it must be able to do the same to MSN Messenger.

I looked at the Source code of Portable Firefox, took bits out and added things in. It took me [roughly] 6 hours to get the code to work correctly, without it working to my high satisfactory level, I wouldn't even hand it out to people to test it for me.

I handed it out to Absorbation, who liked it and said it worked well, I did the same to MenthiX and to MoRiA. Who replied in the same way.

My friend loves it, I love it and my testers seem to love it. That is why I am releasing it.

Current Portable Messenger Version : 1.2.0

Current MSN Messenger Version : 7.0.0816

Download The Latest Release [1.2.0] Here.

RE: Portable Messenger
wouldnt msn still try to add its registry entires though? I thought the only way to make this fully portable was to "redirect" msn's api requests for the registry to some "file" located on the usb which acted like a portable registry

I don't see what is so different about this "portable MSNM". What have you changed about it?

No changes at the moment, I am going to try and dip my hand in at the old add-on game. :)

And yes, it currently adds registry files, however, I am going to try and stop that from happening by as you said making a redirection file. I am just going to have to learn it as I go along. :)
