Possible to install ICQ using wine?

Just as the title says, I haven't tried it yet just want to know if it's possible. I've tried using Pidgin and Kopete and I just don't like these apps.

Try XChat IRC. In Synaptics ...

Thanks, but I don't want to use anything else besides ICQ itself. I just don't like any other IM programs.

Apparently not, no. The fourth hit for me in google was: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=55

You could try running it through Wine and see if it works; there's no guarantee for that, though. For example, I tried running Yahoo Messenger through Wine and I encountered lots and lots of problems, like the app looking really scrambled and the fact that I could not connect to my account. You should find an alternative to ICQ, in case it doesn't work through Wine.

Why not give PSI a try. It is just like ICQ and you can use your ICQ account on the server.

Or empathy for gnome would be a good option too.
