![]() Unless you have specific reasons for using the portable edition, it is best to use the installer to get the full range of features that require installation. The disadvantage of installed software is that normally it cannot be moved to another place by simply copying its directory or exe file. The installer can also register extra components in the system to enable additional functionality in the application, which cannot be done in a portable application, and which is the main advantage of installers. Before the application can be launched, it requires an installation process, during which the installer places the application into a specific folder (usually Program Files), creates shortcuts, places configuration settings into the system user profile, and adds an uninstaller. ![]()
