@AndTheWolf: Good catch - I'm just using the PA home for both the website and download links.

v1.8.1

The link on this page still points to CDExPortable_1.7.8.paf.exe, not to version 1.8.1. PortableApps.com has the updated link.

v1.8.1

@smaragdus: You will note that the SourceForge page is now listed as being owned by 'sf-editor1'. That is one of the SourceForge staff accounts. What that means for CDex is detailed here in this Ars article:
http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/05/sourceforge-grabs-gimp-for-windows-account-wraps-installer-in-bundle-pushing-adware/

tl;dr: SourceForge decided that the project page was abandoned, took it over and bundled the installer with ads, as they have done for a number of other well known projects.

v1.77

@Checker
I tested versions 1.77, 1.76, 1.75, 1.74 and all they are not portable, although there was CDex.ini file in the folder I run CDex it created new folder in C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\CDex.
Did you check this?

v1.77

@ smaragdus: The update I made is v1.77 (portable, ZIP) not v1.78 (not portable, INSTALLER).

v1.77

No- CDex 1.78 is not portable. Has the maintainer tested it?
Now CDex installer contains OpenCandy.
The old home page- http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdexos/ is no longer available.
The original developers- arianepaola (Ariane Paola Gomes) and codingmaster (Georgy Berdyshev) are no longer listed at CDex SourceForge page- https://sourceforge.net/projects/cdexos/
The forum has been removed from SourceForge- https://sourceforge.net/p/cdexos/discussion/
Something fishy has happened.
Checker- please check CDex for portability.
I tested it several times and it is not portable!

v1.77

@agam
I agree- version 1.76 is not portable, saving settings to \User\AppData\Local\CDex even when there are INI files in its own directory.

v1.76

v1.74
