Since previous versions use a different registry key name that is probably the issue. The portable creator was written for Macro Scheduler v11 and has not been tested in previous versions.

Then tried it on my Vista laptop (which doesn't have Macro Scheduler installed) and was prompted for the license code. After entering the code, everything worked as expected. Then I tried it on another XP laptop(which also doesn't have Macro Scheduler installed) and was again prompted for the license code. I thought the license code was copied from my primary install and I wouldn't be prompted for it. Any idea what's happening here?

For the compiler to work it has to be installed in the regular fashion. At present I’m afraid not. For the compiler to work it has to be installed in the regular fashion.

Was as easy and smooth as advertised. I installed the Portable version of Macro Scheduler on an old 256Mb flash drive, and also installed on a newer U3 compatible flash drive. Was no difference, both handled the installation and operated perfectly. I inserted the flash drive into an XP system that never had Macro Scheduler installed. I double clicked on the executable file and Macro Scheduler 11 started right up. I was able to open the Editor and the Help and all the normal utilities. I had loaded some macros onto the flash drive and I did a Macro Import and they were instantly listed on the control panel. When I closed Macro Scheduler and removed the flash drive, there was no trace that any software had been installed, because none was. All files are resident on the flash drive as expected of a true portable program. Later on, I went to a system that already has version 11 installed. I made sure that copy was not running first. Then I ran the executable from the flash drive and once again it performed as I hoped and expected. When I closed the program and removed the flash drive, the resident version was started with no changes to it at all. This will now make it easy for me to load my toolbox of Macro Scheduler utilities on the flash drive, and run the Macro Scheduler scripts on any system with no need to an installation on that computer! Great work! MJT, you are the best, no one else comes close to the type of support and quality products you have provided for us. I just tried the portable version this afternoon.
