MSN Messenger API without Windows Messenger

Hi all,

I'm very confused right now. I made an application that grabs the contact list of MSN Messenger and imports it into an address book. This works fine untill I remove Windows Messenger for the system.

I've clients that use MSN Messenger without Windows Messenger and the tool doesn't work for them.

Is there a way to grab the contact list without Windows Messenger (and the Messenger API) installed Does anybody has some great code snippets

    Keep in mind that this way of doing it is not allowed by Microsoft, because you connect to the network with a program that is not licensed. Besides that, if the user is signed in at the moment you use this, he will be signed out.
    I think there are some other Messenger API's (beside the one you know) which you can use to do what you want, but unfortunatly I haven't got code samples and I am not able to make them...

    What's language you use

    I did a Delphi VCL component here.

    I think I can convert it to other language if you like.

    Of course.

    You can download a trail version in my web. Then run demo in computer without MS MSN messenger. It will work fine.

    My component implement MSN9 protocol.
