I've just tried pre-release 1 on vista ultimate sp1.
have had no problems so far and leaves nothing obvious behind either.

Looks like a clean log to me

Yep, that's as clean as you can get since we don't try to mess with the prefetch or cache stuff.

No problems so far, all works fine.
But I've noticed a couple of things
1) While altconf.txt correctly points to ..\..\Data\settings, there is an unused copy of bookmarks.txt, conf.txt and rnd in \App subfolder, IMHO they can be deleted.
2) It seems PeaZipPortable.exe create altconf.txt on the fly before launching PeaZip, which is a good thing to do to avoid the user may turn the application in non-portable. But then it seems altconf.txt is auto-deleted by PeaZipPortable.exe after PeaZip instance terminates.
If the user starts PeaZip from peazip.exe instead, it doesn't find altconf and creates it with standard "same" parameter instead of "..\..\Data\settings".
I would suggest to keep PeaZipPortable.exe to automatically recreate the right altconf.txt on startup, but I would recommend to keep the file after PeaZip closes, so in any way the user will start PeaZip, the application will use data files in ..\..\Data\settings path.

1) There's stuff left in the \App folder? I'll check that out
2) the altconf.txt is saved in DefaultData, moved into the /App/peazip/res directory on launch of PeaZipPortable.exe, then when PeaZip is closed, moved into /Data/settings. from there, it just moves it in and out of /Data/settings on each launch

Ok, now I got what happens with altconf.
The only case (which is supposed to not happen with the PortableApps version) that may get things wrong is if the user starts the application from peazip.exe itself, which will not find the altconf and create one with default parameter (data in res folder); if altconf is let in res, this would not happen (I think it could be let there, it is invariant, read only data).
In any case the package works well in both ways, so I think this is a minor issue, or a non-issue.

I'm very glad to say that PeaZip was included by Lifehacker.com as one of the best five archivers in the poll:
http://lifehacker.com/5065324/five-best-file-compression-tools
While 7-Zip is winning hands down in the poll results, if someone wants to contribute some votes for PeaZip will make me happy!

Hi Giorgio,
great to see ya, here.
I've updated the german language file a bit (native speaker).
Since encode.ru forum is locked to register, theres also no chance to contact Vacon (the initial .de localizer) and at least I'm without an acc@sourceforge. I already thought about to give up. But it looks like there is a chance to add my revision now in the following days.
I was packaging this for release and I noticed some issues. The files bookmarks.txt, conf.txt and rnd are directly in the App directory. Are these data files or app files? And the language switching code appears to have been entirely removed. Any reason why?
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
For the bookmarks.txt, conf.txt and rnd, when I run on my system, they are created in the /Data directory. I think the stuff in /App is remnants from a previous test, I'll remove those. I'm still trying to figure out the language switching. I'll try to reupload later tonight
