Playing with an interesting install twist with Sametime 7.5


Tags :


With the move to the Eclipse based installation for the Connect client in 7.5, even though it is quite the memory muncher at this point, I thought this would finally be the perfect way to get the full Sametime client onto the U3 USB key, just like Nomad.  Currently some things are still written to the Windows registry, even though beta 2 was a fully independent and just ran from a simple directory.  I wish it had stayed that way.

So pointing the chat transcript folder to the USB drive doesn't always work either as the drive letter might change each time you plug the device in.  A native directory path to the Sametime folder would be nice however.  Or just turn it off for that instance of the Connect client is my next thought.

Sorry for the rambling thoughts on getting certain features working, but I am really trying to make sure this works on the USB now.
