 Local: This leaves an empty key in the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Angelic Software\Angel Writer)

and I can't find a setting to stop this behaviour.

Portable? yes, stealth? not unless there is a setting or ini edit I can't see [2007-08-07 14:00]

 Andrew Lee: I don't see the above in the registry when I run the app. Can someone else offer a second opinion? [2007-08-13 06:39]

 Webfork: 10 steps behind Microsoft word but 10 steps ahead of WordPad.

Looks just like a stripped down version of Word 2000, this program provides all the basics. Since almost no one uses all the power features of the lastest version of Word, this is more than adequate. Notably, it lacks any kind of spellcheck. Its ability to save to HTML, RTF, and TXT formats makes it very connected but its inability to open anything other than TXT, HTML, or RTF limits it. [2007-08-16 00:11]

 ILyus: I have installed version 3.1.0.380 and the setup didn't install any "Help,1.chm" or "Help,2.chm". There was only the file "Help.chm". Using WinPooch during the application runs, I have confirmed that this doesn't access to USERSETTINGS and doesn't write anything in registry, either(it seeds at the startup, but it's not any problem). It doesn't have any problem after uninstalling(deleting registry entries), so it's perfectly portable! To Webfork: this is a word processor and not any office suite. If you say this has only 10 steps to MS Word, this is a very exaggeratedly luxurious word processor! [2008-01-05 13:33]

 Cofti: Same as Local; working under Win98, I installed (rather than extracted) version 3.1 Build 380, copied the app folder (same as Ilyus : only Help.chm present) where I wanted to, uninstalled (no registry entry left behind) and ran writer.exe from the new location. It does leave a blank entry in the registry.
Export to HTML could be a bit better (font color tag not so useful) but it's still a fast, reasonably powerful RTF tool. [2008-07-23 08:53]

 vhick: I'm also created HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Angelic Software\Angel Writer in my machine. either install-uninstall or extract procedure when i launch the angelwriter.exe

thanks... [2009-04-29 20:51]

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.
