Getting @live.ie email without installing stuff?

    Does anyone know if there's a way to register for a Windows Live (@live.ie) email address without having to (re) install Messenger, the toolbar etc? I've tried just leaving all the boxes blank when it asks which of the programmes you want to install but it still tries to install the toolbar.

    I just want to check if I can get the MSN address I want without adding loads of numbers to it.

    live registrations take their localisation settings from the users language settings in their browser.
    So if you want the opportunity to select live.ie rather than live.co.uk or live.com when registering an email / live account, change your "BROWSERS" language to English(Ireland).
    I'm using Firefox 3 and to set my language I do the following.
    Tools - Options - Content - "Languages" - Choose
    In there, set your language as English(Ireland), then close all instances of your browser, then fire it up again and go to
    http://home.live.com/ - click on "Sign up" and off ya go.

    chaps

    i followed your tips, and could only get a "@live.com" email account - how do you get a "live.ie" account?

    cheers
