Moving clamwin on flashdrive

I have just downloaded clamwin to a flasfdrive. I would like to create another directory on the flashdrive and move clamwin into this directory prior to installing the programme.

I note that winwget (used for download) has kept all the download information in its window. Will moving the programme on the flashdrive cause a problem?

Thanks

If you mean the portable version hosted here,

there´s no problem with moving the app folder because the launcher (= ClamwinPortable.exe) takes care for your settings, but you have to move the whole ClamwinPortable folder, not only parts of it. If you start the "installer" it automatically detects the PortableApps folder of the suite, if it is installed and gives you the path. Note: this is no installer as the default windows installer that writes to the registry, but a sort of higher developped,compressed package that helps you putting the Clamwin portable folder onto your flashdrive and manages upgrading an existing version without deleting your personal settings. No real "windows install" procedure. After finishing the installation the launcher manages your paths and settings...
