23.2 Development Test 1 (2010-05-21):
- Updated to GNU Emacs 23.2
- Added EmacsPortable/Other/ApplicationStructure.txt file.
- Removed all extensions(wget, ctags), this is now plain Emacs, just portable.
- Removed the directory "load", use the directory ".emacs.d" instead for your added modes.
- Updated EmacsPortable/Other/Source/Readme.txt file.
- Updated EmacsPortable/Other/Source/EmacsPortable.ini file.
- Updated EmacsPortable/help.html file.
Used PortableApps.com AppCompactorU on Emacs.
23.1 Development Test 4 (2010-04-05):
- The directory "user-load-path" has been simply renamed as "load", to shorten the total character length in path names.
- The directory "load" is moved to .emacs.d directory.
- .emacs.d has been defined in the load path. The .el files in this directory can directly be "required" from _emacs.
- TMP and TEMP environment variables have been defined.
23.1 Development Test 1-2-3: Internal releases
Emacs Portable 23.2 Development Test 1 released. Find the download link at the top.
The files in EmacsPortable/App/Emacs is just unmodified GNU Emacs, with a single file added: EmacsPortable/App/Emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el.
So, it will obey all your customizations that you can do with GNU Emacs itself.

PortableEmacs on Windows 7: when I invoke emacs from the launcher menu, it comes up with its window split in two and a message in the bottom half that an error occurred while loading my init file .../Data/settings/_emacs:
error: The directory `~/.emacs.d/server' is unsafe
The directory is present. The Windows Properties pane shows it as read-only (also for contained files), but I don't seem to be able to change that through the Properties pane.
Any suggestions?

This problem isn't limited to Portable Emacs, but happens with emacs generally under Windows 7.
The simplest solution -- the one that doesn't require modifying any elisp -- is to change ~/.emacs.d/server to be owned by the login identity, not Administrators (or any other identity except the login identity). Do this through Properties -> Advanced and so on.
