E.g. an internal drive rather than an external USB drive.

Thanks.

Yes, but you must install full version on the pc first.

See this post, a bit old but still relevant.

Thanks, but I don't see confirmation that portable install works on internal drive. Should I?

[kensn]

Yea, didn't notice you were in that discussion.

[chrisjj]

Can you claify your:

Yes, but you must install full version on the pc first.

considering that the proposed portable installation is "on the PC".

The wiki has a topic.

You must install MC and license it first.  Then, from that machine, you can do a portable install of MC on any drive.

There is no such thing as a portable install without having done an ordinary install.

[chrisjj]

The wiki has a topic.

Sure. But if you can show one that actually answers the question, I'd be really grateful.

http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Portable_Drive_Installation is not that.

You must install MC and license it first.

Then, from that machine, you can do a portable install of MC on any drive.

Any drive? Including an internal drive?

I've never tried doing a second install on the same machine.  Why would you do that?

[chrisjj]

I've never tried doing a second install on the same machine.

Thanks. If anyone knows whether portable install works on an internal drive, I'd love to hear.

Why would you do that?

Separate settings.

[JimH]

Why?  Maybe there is another solution.  MC19 and MC20 would work.

I don't think it will work.

[chrisjj]

Why?

So that changes to the settings for one project do not carry to the settings for other projects.

MC19 and MC20 would work.

Differently.

I don't think it will work.

Thanks.

Try using different libraries.

[chrisjj]

Try using different libraries.

Eh, why?? App settings are not stored in the library.

[JimH]

Some are.

Zones also stores some.

[chrisjj]

Some are.

Then thanks some.

Please start a new thread with a good description of what you're trying to do.  There may be a better way.

Portable Install is not meant for this purpose.

Yes it works.
