^ Don't you usually note the launcher and the base app separately?

Fixed, thanks.

Still no base app developer listed? Wikipedia says the original author was Don Allingham, and just calls the rest "The GRAMPS Team".

+ Shouldn't it be all caps? Or are you just choosing not to do it that way?

I just listed it as team. The Gramps website spells it like this, so it sounds like it used to be GRAMPS but is now Gramps.

There are lots of these missing; I generated a comprehensive list some time ago and sent it to John, nothing's happened about it. Those short URLs have fallen by the wayside.

for posting this!

Besides some minor errors ("Gramps Portable for Windows requires a jump drive with the free PortableApps.com Suite™ installed."). its a good review. John should probably add it to the main "in the news list" because for him "PortableApps.com Suite™ is one of the best free Windows products available, in my opinion.".

I've been a faithful user of PortableApps for the past 4+ years. PA.com has given me an opportunity to test applications I would have never thought I would be interested in using.

I've been anxiously waiting for Gramps for the past few years.

Unfortunately I get this error message when I try to install.

Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

I'm running fully updated XP.

Thanks,
Gio

Please create a new thread in the Other Apps Support forum so we can follow it up there; it would be helpful if you give the installation path too.
