USB Install?

Danger · 12-20-2010, 12:01 AM

Is it possible to install Sigil on a USB stick to make it portable?

I'm filling in on a job for someone's holidays in our PrintShop and am expecting it to be really slow. Figured I would do some epub reformatting rather that being bored to death. No I cannot install on the computer at work.

Install it in the normal way and copy the Sigil folder to an USB stick. Works for me.

Thank you. I was thinking I could try that. Just needed confirmation

I did what you said but I get an error: "Sigil not a valid win32 application"

You need to download the non 64 bit version then and install that. I had the same problem. My computers x64 so I installed that on it but the computers I use at work are only x86 (32 bit) systems. Once I installed the right one and copied the contents over to my USB stick everything worked just fine.

x64 version is the first download listed, x86 is the second one in the list:
