Digital Light & Color

This is not that important, but I'll ask anyway. Is there a way of running PWP portably, at least in a basic fashion (e.g. without help or being able to save transformation settings) without installing it (e.g. on the guest computer without an administrator's rights)?

If you copy all the files in C:\Program Files\Digital Light & Color\Picture Window Pro 8 to a flash drive, it should run OK, but it will not be able to find its preferences, color management settings, and so on that are normally stored in C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Picture Window Pro.

Ideally, a portable version would store these files in the same folder as the program. I would do this for the regular version, but the program folder has restricted access privileges.

Of course all the settings files store in My Documents are also an issue.

The next release will have a feature that lets you create a portable version.

How does the new VCRUNTIME140_1.dll affect running the portable installation? Does the host computer have to have it already, and what are the chances it does?

Good question.

I should probably just add a copy of VCRUNTIME140_1.dll to the regular install -- then it will get copied to the portable install. It's only 44KB.
