| Author/Date | installer, how is it portable? |
| Derek 01/05/2015 11:37am | Description says "small portable email client" yet I only see installers. I am looking for the portable exe file so I don't need to use an "installer." What gives? |
| fret 01/05/2015 2:02pm | Yes it comes in an installer. For several reasons:
- It's smaller. - It can install the Visual Studio runtimes that you'll need to actually run it. Portable: - Install to the USB key or whatever. - Select "portable" mode when you run for the first time. - The uninstaller will be written to the USB key. - Email and settings will be stored to the USB key in the same folder as the executable. Alternatively there are unpackers than will extract all the files in the installer. I think 7zip might do that. |
