I did a search for this topic, but couldn't find what I was looking for. I would like to install the entire Portable Apps suite on a flash drive where I already have Thunderbird, Gaim, and OpenOffice.org. If I install the suite on top of what's already there, will I lose the files that are on my drive, specifically my emails from Thunderbird? I'm going to play around with it, but of course back up my data before I do the install. If worse comes to worse, I can always erase the drive and reload what I already had on there.
Thanks for your attention to this. If this has been posted before and I've missed it, please accept my apologies.
As long as you have them in the same directory structure as the suite (FirefoxPortable, ThunderbirdPortable, etc directories within a PortableApps directory in the root directory) it'll just work. All apps from PortableApps.com including the Suite support in-place upgrades... so you can install a new version right over the old one.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
