Make regular installation portable

Postby nimareq » 11.03.2014 15:14:19

I've read this FAQ Is there a portable version of Dexpot?, I did create the file, but what now?
To make a regular installation of Dexpot portable, create an empty file called portable.ini in the Dexpot program folder (usually C:\Program Files\Dexpot).

:dex:

Now you can move the Dexpot installation folder to a USB flash drive and use it on different computers. Dexpot will store all its settings in the portable.ini file.

The file remains empty after copying whole folder to a flash drive. When launched on another PC, my settings is not there.

How does the Dexpot know I created the file? When will it fill in my settings?

To fill in your settings, simply start Dexpot from the flash drive with an empty portable.ini file on the machine where it was previously installed.
