No Installer or zip file for portable version of pidgin provided in version 0.2.2

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to http://code.google.com/p/microblog-purple/downloads/list
2. No portable Installer / zip file can be found
3. The normal installer can't find portable Versions of pidgin... 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I am using Pidgin Portable 2.5.6 on Windows XP SP3

Please provide any additional information below.

I would really appreciate if possible versions of mbpurple would be 
provided in the future as well.
Thanks!

I got a bit impatient here for an official update to the portable version, so I 
did a
bit of a crude manual upgrade for it by grabbing the files (that I'm aware of) 
from
the non-portable version.

Besides compressing all the relevant files into a 7-zip file, I've additionally
UPX'ed the Twitgin.dll file to save space.

Installation instructions are included in the enclosed file...  if you want to 
do
this.  Otherwise, go ahead & wait for the official update.

There's still some problems with version 0.2.2 that's making it practically 
unusable
(the constant updating of the EXACT SAME POSTS, regardless if I've closed the 
window
is still haunting me), but I've updated from the old 0.2.1 portable installer & 
I may
have missed a few files.

Hope this helps in the meantime!

I thought I was missing a file in my cobbled-together version.  While I'll UPX 
the
hell out of it later tonight for my Portable version of Pidgin 2.5.8, it's 
working
perfectly (as-is) now!  I've deleted the version that I made in a previous 
comment as
it's no longer relevant.

For those doing a manual install / upgrade for Pidgin Portable, install the 
files
into X:\PortableApps\PidginPortable\App\Pidgin (replace X with your USB's drive
letter) & allow overwrites, if any.

Thanks for your assistance!

Sorry - but there doesn't seem to be a portable version of the most recent 
release.

Original comment by rmaha...@gmail.com on 7 Sep 2009 at 5:40

[GoogleCodeExporter]

yes there is...the 0.2.2 release works on all 2.5.x versions of Pidgin
Portable...Pidgin Portable is at version 2.5.6 which is in the 2.5.x version 
family
so it will certainly work.
