    version 7 really not portable/runnable form USB stick?

    As I found out version 7 is not portable/runnable form USB stick.
    Is this true?

    version 6 coukld be run from USB stick.

    Could you make v7 portable as well?

    Thank you

    Version of PerformanceTest is definitely runnable from USB.

    Here is the FAQ on how to do it.
    Q. How can I setup PerformanceTest to run from a CD or USB memory stick under Windows?

      version 7 is not portable in the same way version 6 is.
      windows UAC interferes.

      so even on usb, you need admin privileges to run it.

      version 6 could be run from usb by any user, even with limited rights.

        Portability and needing to be admin to run an app are separate unrelated issues.
