Hi Don,
In the case of Audacity, the only two differences between using the
installer and the portable version are:
1. If you use the installer, the installed version is automatically
available to all users on the computer.
2. The portable version does not include a copy of the manual. However, you
I have a related question. I note that there is a full install version and a
portable version of Audacity. I have noted that many programs have both a
full install and a portable version. So I conclude that there must be some
advantage of the full install over the portable version of a program.
