[ANSWERED] Can Honorbuddy be copied to USB Drive??

[chrash]

Curious if its possible to copy the HB folder to a USB drive and simply move it to another Computer?? Computer I'm putting it on is Administrator Locked (Work Computer). I know how to get around the Administrator Privileges to install programs to the computer, but it is a tedious endeavour and one I'd rather not have to do (Again, lol).

Thankyou

To be quite honest, as long as the redistributables and .NET frameworks are on the target PC, I don't see why you can't. I never use the installer version. I always download the .zip file from the website. It's small enough, unzipped, to fit on a USB drive to transfer to another computer. With the sizes of USB drives nowadays, you could probably fit the zipped and unzipped files on the same USB drive.

Hi, Chrash,

Zeldrak is spot on—Honorbuddy should have no problem being used with USB drives. He makes an important point that the machine hosting the USB drive should have the .NET dependencies already in place; otherwise, Honorbuddy won't work on it.

It would be a good idea to place a copy of the installer on the USB drive, also. Unlike the .zip file, the installer will make certain the necessary .NET dependencies are present and intact. You can use the installer on a hosting machine that doesn't have the necessary dependencies already installed.

You may also want to configure Honorbuddy to place its mesh files on the USB drive, also. By default, they will be stored in the %LocalAppData%/Bossland/Honorbuddy/Meshes/ folder. If left at the default location, it is not conducive to portability.

cheers,
