I have this setting in MainSettings.dat:

I believe it's now portable!

Hurry up with downloading, the download will be available for three days only (starting from the 22nd on, I think). The download is a ZIP file with the installer and the licence file. Keep this licence file because, according to the information given on the CHIP site, it can be used for the next version too (expected release somtimes in July).

It works portably (I tried it), but I did not test whether it is stealth (or better: to what extent is it stealth).

Greetings

I couldn't find this information and I think the license is only valid for version 2009.

@Ennovy

Take a look at this:

http://www.chip.de/artikel/Vollversion- ... 59749.html

Section with the title: "Auch jv16 PowerTools 2010 gratis" (i.e. "jv16 PowerTools 2010 for free too")

BTW, I would not post it without being sure what am I talking about 'cause it is too good to be true.

I checked the availability again and the countdown started on the 21st, so I think the offer is only valid until today (23rd) midnight (GMT+1, daylight saving time).

Greetings

Thanks for the info and that's great news!

Your welcome, my pleasure.

Download still available at 8:30 am (GMT+1, DST) on May 25th. Either the time limit has been extended, or these are the longest three days of my life.

GeddichNixan You stated

Do you mean settings are not sent to the registry? Or do you mean portable as in it will work from a flash-drive?

Thanks

_________________

I mean it in the simplest and least sophisticated way:

I installed it into a sandbox, copied the app folder to another location and ran it. It worked. I have no idea where it's settings go.

That was what I meant as I wrote: "...but I did not test whether it is stealth (or better: to what extent is it stealth)."

Greetings

When the application doesn't write outside of it's Application Folder e.g. %APPDATA%, Registry or %WINDIR% So if the developer stores the applications configuration in %APPDATA%\APPNAME then this is not stealth.
Of course when testing an application, it will generate standard registry keys, but this is down to the Windows OS storing recently open files etc. something which is beyond the control of any Portable Freeware developer.

It reads the registry a whole lot (~200,000 times) and creates some keys and values, but these seem to be tests to see that it can write to the registry, they are immediately deleted.

It does some reading and writing of paths in some keys that I have noticed in a couple of apps (similar to this: viewtopic.php?p=23028#p23028), but they can be ignored.

It also writes some temp files and does a write permission test in %systemroot%, this file is deleted too though.

So by my reckoning, it's portable.

Thanks a lot Hydaral.
