 raphael: Portable? What about the vb runtime? I know copy it in the apps dir. But then how many copy should I run around with on my portable if we call these apps portable. Get serious. This was the last one for me guys, I'm outa here. portablefreeware.com is no such thing. [2006-12-09 04:09]

 Roz: In response to Raphael - I can't help but feel that is a program design issue, not one of 'portability' on this website's part. Talk to the developer and tell him your gripe. I use portable apps all the time that hook in properly to the OS's runtimes and DLL's.

If you want to go through the pain, you can setup your USB drive for NTFS 5.0 and setup symbolic links (EG: reparse points) for each duplicate file to save space.

 PJ: VB runtimes are part of XP - so that wouldn't make it unportable. [2007-05-30 17:46]

 Nh: Universal Extractor can't extract these installers. [2008-01-15 22:43]

All HTML tags will be removed from your comment. URLs (http, https, ftp) will be automatically detected and hyperlinked. I reserve the right to delete irrelevant, frivolous or offensive comments. For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
