redistributing it like that (and forcing it to not-install) is equally illegal.

If the sites aren't being blocked then that is the
only proper way of using a "portable" messenger...

That would be somewhat the definition of a true portable version.
But in order to do that you need to know very advanced programming and MSN Messenger needs to be patched heavly. (and this is also what TB was talking about, partially, in the thread on mess.be about "Messenger Live"). This is by no means easy to do, only someone with the proper knowledge can pull this off as it is far beyond copying some files like the current "portable" versions do...

everything needs to be executed, integrated or not. And if you're talking about a standalone msn messenger, you're talking about EXE's (and coms, and ...etc...). Otherwise, simply use a webmessenger (not all are being blocked; and if so there are ways around that also)
Besides, using a different way of messaging defeats the whole purpose of having a standalone basic msn messenger which people can patch/skin/etc...
