I've been using the latest dev version of KVIrc on windows, and its pretty cool.
I was using MegaIRC and HydraIRC but I like this one's interface+options better.
The lastest dev has a 'portable' option the first time you run it, which doesn't put a .ini file in the Windows folder and store its config folders in your profile like what it does normally.
And yes it is an installer, but I was able to use 7z to open it and copy various folders located in a "$_OUTDIR" foler to where they are meant to be normally, and it works fine. (if your interested in what is needed I'm putting it at the bottom of the post).
Here is a link to the news artical about it on its official site:
http://www.kvirc.net/?id=news&story=200 ... dir=latest
Now for the relocations and stuff.
The bolded text means a folder located in the $_OUTDIR folder.
Italic text means you need to create this folder in the main directory
scriptexamples into doc
silverirc into themes
en into help
modules into config
caps into modules(this is the folder that is already there, not the one you placed)
then delete the $COMMONFILES and $PLUGINSDIR folders.
