Portable Install Issue
« on: December 12, 2008, 04:44:50 am »

Is anyone else using the portable Install?
For some reason I've noticed that MC is no longer referencing my files by
{installdrive}\
but instead has gone back to K:\
and as a result since plugging it into another machine it's not working...
my portable install is no longer portable!

I saw that before.
I can't remember what caused it, but I fixed it by doing a find and replace on the filename field.

I had to do the same, replace the drive letter.

Furthermore, install didn't work with Vista, only XP. At least that was the case with an earlier MC13 beta.

I also read somewhere this is a well known issue.

I did a find and replace and am back to normal.

I've had no problems with installs since portable install went live in MC12, and I'm using Vista.

I do wish the installer would remember where it last put a portable install however, doing an upgrade once every couple of days requires lots of clicking!  :)
