Therefore, programs have to be designed to store data in the user's data folder on the system drive.
The reason for this is because Windows XP and later don't allow programs to store data in C:\Program Files. When you run yWriter5.exe from the memory stick it will see this ini file and use the G:\yWriter5 folder for data, log files, etc. to force yWriter5 to use its own program folder for data and settings, create an empty file called yWriter5.ini in the (example) G:\yWriter5 folder. To override this, you MUST create an ini file in the program folder on the memory stick. When you run one of my apps from a memory stick it will try to create a data folder in the logged-in user's Documents folder on the host PC, and it will also try to put its settings in C:\Documents and Settings\ (Username)\Application Data\Spacejock Software\ (Application Name) (or the Vista/Win7 equivalent: C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Spacejock Software\ (Application Name).

G:\yBook in our example)įor my VB2008 apps (everything not listed above), the host machine must have the Microsoft dotnet 2.0 runtimes installed. Just download PenDriveFiles.exe, run it, and point the installer to the program folder on the memory stick (e.g. Now you have to choose one of the next two steps, depending on whether the app you want to run was written in VB6 or VB2008.įor my VB6 apps (yBook 1.x, BookDB 2.x, FCharts 1.x, yTimer 1.x, yPlay 1.x, yRoute 1.x) you need the VB6 runtimes. If the memory stick is drive G, an example would be to copy C:\Program Files\yBook to G:\yBook
