 ascendant: 914MB uncompressed?! wow.. there's proof that some people have no limits when it comes to portable software. (I prefer to keep things a wee bit smaller) [2008-06-24 14:30]

 Delve: I get a message "The application failed to run because of an incorrect configuration, reinstalling may fix this problem"
According to the developers of Vega Strike the reason for this is as follows:

This means you have not installed the VC8 re-distributable package.

Look for an executable called "vcredist_x86.exe" in the bin folder and install it as Administrator.

If you do not have that program, download and install it from Microsoft here.

How can this program be deemed portable? [2008-06-25 04:57]

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.
