My fault, they (Portable Apps) already know it. See this thread [http://portableapps.com/node/17547]

Hi Clarance! Me too, I prefer Pidgin Portable. I’ve just finished to do the same. Downloaded msn-pecan-0.0.17.exe and opened it with Peazip [http://peazip.sourceforge.net/] and extracted the .dll. Then I just launched Pidgin and changed the assigned protocol for every MSN account (I have many many many ) from MSN to WLM (it has the same MSN butterfly). Everyone using Pidgin Portable should get to know this procedure, cause it’s very easy, and it’s the only way to connect to MSN network. Especially the people from Portable Apps [http://portableapps.com/]

This discussion is a little old but I thought I would add my experiences anyway.

I could not log into MSN with pidgin this morning. I was getting an ‘Unable to retrieve MSN address book ‘. It was suggested on another site that msn-pecan was a better choice.

I am also using pidgin-portable (on a windows box). I download the executable for windows and changed the .exe extension to .zip and opened the file with 7-zip.

I then copied the file ‘msn-pecan-0.0.17.zip\$[35]\plugins\libmsn-pecan.dll to the plugins directory of my pidgin-portable app ‘PidginPortable\App\Pidgin\plugins’.

I restarted pidgin-portable and I can now change the protocol to WLM so I assume that it is working

Can confirm crash with the new 0.15 (works fine with 0.14). I just created the account and connected it (it downloads 1-2 avatar from contacts and then crashes).
