Alrighty. I'm working on TI Connect. No, I'm not gonna give out the link except to a few(HINT:IRC :D). I'm leaving over the weekend, and I don't want a bizillion problems cropping up.
BUT: TI Connect and TILP/TILPII both need drivers to function.
Currently, what is the Official PortableApps.Com Method for dealing with such.
I'm gonna look at the WireShark Portable- but what is our official method?
Thanks

Essentially, you need to check if it's installed. If yes, go. If not, check for admin rights. If no, message to user. If yes, install the driver and run the app. When done, uninstall it. This must be done cleanly and you should warn the user of the install/uninstall.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Such as using the MUI.nsh to do it?

What if there's a deprecated, not compatible, version installed?

Not sure how to handle that one. I believe WireShark just fails in that case, unfortunately. We can't really uninstall the old one (because we couldn't then reinstall it). I spose we should offer to upgrade (and leave it) with the warning that this will alter the local PC (we'd clarify that in the question). Since the user is an admin, presumably, it would be ok for them to do this since they'd be able to without our assistance. Thoughts?

Sounds good.
Driver much newer than the app is also as issue. I think that in such case you should (if possible) run the local version with portable config.

Slightly off-topic, but is the Wireshark Portable package one of our official apps, or did you just assist their team at the start, then let them take over, or is it completely their work?

I think its their's. Its not quite up to snuff and they're doinga few things.
Its not one of our official apps-its on their site. but, we should list it.
