1. Get rid of anything you dont need
2. Compress all DLLs & EXEs with UPX
3. Compress all zips, jars, etc to their max level
4. Run while watching with RegMon and FileMon
5. Submit your findings here

it only installs a single exe, googletalk.exe, in "Program Files\Google\Google Talk".
writes settings to the registry

GTalk uses the Jabber messaging protocal. They have instructions on how to get connected via other clients, including Miranda which is portable.
You can use Gaim to connect to your Google Talk account. It has a Jabber plugin.

i did add new account then put my screen name but it wouldnt log on. do i probably need to change the server but what to?
Here's the steps for setting up Google Talk through Gaim. It worked great for me.

Using other clients works for text, but not for voice yet. I agree, Gaim and Miranda are good, depending on what features you want to use with Google Talk. It would still be nice to have a portable Google Talk.
I do not use Google Talk myself but I know how you can get a portable version ( at a price ) I am using Ceedo, a portable operating system so to speak. They have Google Talk already packaged for use in a portable storage device. Ceedo requires registration ($39)after 30 days but if you Google Ceedo and try it you will be impressed. You will also find comments about Ceedo on this forum.
Hope this helps......
theres a portable version of google talk for ceedo, just if you were wondering, i found it works great
Don't waste your money on Ceedo! Google is planning on adding Talk functionality to Gmail. Anywhere you can check your email you will be able to use it!

Yep -- and I already got it.
Check out my latest post on my blog (see my signature) to see what it is.

I made it portable here: Portable Google Talk.
I saw that, it's pretty cool.
