Firefox Portable gets INSTALLED.Nob - June 13, 2009 - 5:55pm
Hi! The Portable version gets installed and the same thing does the Portable version of Thunderbird. And can't get uninstalled since there aren't uninstalling files (.exe). Thanks. ( categories: )

What makes you think
What makes you think it/they get INSTALLED ?
Please give as much information/detail as possible.

Things have got to get better, they can't get worse, or can they?
Yes and no
The installer is merely a self-extracting archive. Well, it does a few tasks, but it only works within the installation directory. It does not do standard installation tasks such as writing to the registry or setting up file associations.
It cannot be uninstalled in the usual manner because it wasn't installed to start with, to Windows' specifications. To uninstall any app from this site, merely delete the "installation" directory. That will wipe any trace of it.

Reason unknown.
I installed them in a Portable drive but they (Thunderbird too) appear installed in C:/Program files also.
still the same process ...
if you install FirefoxPortable on the local harddrive, you just delete the folder the program is in.
Normal installation is just to one directory, not two.
Unless you installed the regular version earlier and that is what you are seeing? Then you have to do the regular uninstall process for all your other Windows installed programs.
