Hi everyone, first ever post here, so greetings everyone

I've registered to this forum because it's been a while since i started looking for a completely portable messenger... And by portable, what i really mean, is that it doesn't require any installation, but most important: there can't be register modification...

I've seen a few messengers here on this forum, that claim to be portable... but they actually access and modify the register....

do you any of you guys know any messenger that is actually 100% completely portable?, with no installation and no register-modification whatsoever?

Thanks in advance

WLM Lite. I'm pretty sure this version needs WLM installed to function properly.

Version 8.0.0812 does not and can be downloaded here:

Download Link I could only find a link to download it sorry. I know people like to know what they are downloading.

hey Phillip, thanks for the quick response

i'll look into that one, i'll certainly check it out...

by the way, have you heard of this one ? : http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/gaim_portable

Now i'll test the one you've mentioned

Thanks again !!!

I don't think that's what he's looking for, Phillip...

GAIM (Now known as Pidgin) Portable is a totally portable (ie, doesn't touch the registry) MSN and other chat protocols program.

Edit: Bleh, one minute before me . Yes, GAIM portable is good. I use GAIM on Linux and it's very stable.

Hi Andrew, thanks for your entry

Yes, i've tried that one, and it's ok... I mean, it's not like having the real msn installed, but what the heck... It's pretty good... file transfers aren't friendly at all, but the overall idea is ok, and that's ok with me...

I'm gonna stick to this one for a while, until i find another one, or i decide to install the traditional msn 7.5, with permission of my boss of course...

cheers all, and thanks for your time...

see ya.

Eh heres a portable version of the Windows Live Messenger 8.1.0718 If you want it that is here

Hi Eddie, thanks for your input...

Yeah, i've came across that version too, and Phillip mentioned that site as well... The thing is, that after reading the comments on that site, i learned that a lot of pple were having some issues running that app on their computers (which, like mine, do not have any msn version installed), because it tried to find some dlls...

Phillip linked me to another release, that in theory, should work just ok... But as i said before, i've encountered Gaim, and so far so good... It's not like MSN, but it's pretty close too.

So, for the moment i'm using Gaim Portable; but i'll download those from that site, and check them out some other time, at my home's pc... I don't want to try stuff on this notebook, because it's the one my company gave me...

Thanks again for your time, and if any of you have any experience using WLM Portable, feel free to share them with us.

Cheers.

there are 3 good ones =\

Hi Nana.

While i know that those sites provide a fully portable access to messenger, i must point that those are web-based applications, and has many weak points (such as ad banners, the way the windows are created (they're still IE / FF windows, can't hide in the systray), and so on)...

I used them a couple of times, but their accesibility is pretty limited... That's why i started looking for real portable applications, and not those web-based one

thanks anyway, but that's not what i'm looking for...

Wonder if you could thinstall/Portablise Msgplus with WLM and Flash all in one tidy little app
