Portable install fails
« on: December 14, 2008, 05:57:31 am »

I have upraded 2 months ago from MC12.

Now I try to install a "portable install' from my Laptop running Vista on an external USB hard drive - and get the following failure:
"FAILURE COPYING LICENSE
Install Wizard can only perform a portable install if you have a valid license on this machine"

MC13 on my laptop appears to have a proper license. I also did a reboot, no success.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

PS: on my USB disk is already a portable install, with older MC13beta, installed from another PC with WinXp.

Have you tried upgrading the local copy of MC13 first?

That was a good hint, didn't think of that.

In the portable copy, I chose "Help - Check for Updates", but since it is MC 13.0.62 installed, Update says there are no newer versions available.

Issue is that I had immediate MC crashes when I connected that USB drive to my laptop at work and started to play a file.
Now I have backed up a New library, transferred that to the USB drive and restored it into the portable copy. Looks like the crashes are gone.

Portable Install is broken in the latest builds.
