    Original version vs. portable version
    « on: June 28, 2011, 02:28:09 PM »
    What's the difference between the original version of a program and the portable version?
    The portable version can make the same things like the ''original'' version??? *sorry for my english

    As a rule, the difference is that the original version needs to be installed on a computer and the portable version does not, and can run from a usb drive. What program are we talking about?

    And your English is fine

    Portable version simply means it doesn't have to be installed to run properly...

    Portable versions are usually used on flash drives.  You can connect the flash drive to any computer and run the program right from the flash drive; no need to install it in your OS.

    I suppose it usually means the registry won't be written to?
