| Summary | 0007520: Portable mode: stores lots of data to the desktop (instead of the portable drive) | ||||
| Description | 1. The installer forced creation of a start menu entry. It shouldn't do so (as that overwrote the shortcuts on my local machine). 2. Default user Folders should not be created in Portable Mode. e.g. thumbnails are created in the roaming directory instead of on a directory on the portable drive. 3) Registry entries are created as well by the installer. e.g. - MM portable somehow remembered the install path on subsequent installs - It created a record of an installed program in add/remove programs (and overwrote an existing record for a MediaMonkey installation) | ||||

Issues are well described in http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=56399#p291084 |
|
|
The user also mentioned in http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=56399#p291086 that Codec Pack should also be installed in a portable way. I think that for portable mode we should always install Addons to the MM folder (no UI option for this), which would fix the issue. |

Fixed in build 1356. |
|
|
Tested 1356 not fully and noticed that item 3) isn't resolved. i.e. upon installing MM in portable mode, a record is added to the installed programs, and the install path is somehow remembered. |

Fixed in build 1357. |
|
|
Re-opened, this hasn't been fixed in 1357, actually there is a build error, because the code used is supported starting from InnoSetup v5.3.8, but we use v5.3.4 Once InnoSetup is upgraded (0005913) then these two lines needs to be added: Uninstallable=IsntPortableMode CreateUninstallRegKey=IsntPortableMode |

Fixed installer issue |
|
|
I haven't tested, but as described in the forum: 1) There are still a couple of entries created by the installer 2) When MM is run - Many registry entries are created - A lot of content is stored to the user profile In portable mode, MM should not be making any changes to the PC upon which it is run (unless specifically requested by the user).

All is fixed in build 1359. |
