Message Server "Lite" or "Portable" Client?

[jrfuda]

Christian, I've been looking at this plugin for some time now and am considering giving it a try. The feature that would sell me, though, is a what I'll call a "lite" or "portable" client.

What I mean by that is a client program that can be installed to a USB drive nd installed on that drive by a non-administrator, power-user, etc. Several "thumb-drive" enabled apps have been released lately and I think that Message Server's client is a great candidate.

Think about it, if this functionality is possible, all you'd have to do is pop your thumb drive into your work computer or a friend's computer and "pow" instant client, and the best thing is when your done, you don't leave anything behind.

Do you think this is doable?

Thanks!

John,

Yes I think is doable and there a topic about something like that here.

You will need to make sure that the controls are installed and the client will be good to go. I will take a look and make a little something to make sure the files are presents and install them if needed instead of trial and error with the client.

Regards,
Christian

Thanks christian. Those posts mentioned manualling installing some files in Windows' System directory, which is a no-go on a non-admin account. Everything needed will have to reside on the flash drive in order for tis to work.

I may try intalling the client on to my flash drive at home and then try it at work, there's a chance those files could alread be on my work PC.
