The best looking collection of portable applications for Win32 is http://portableapps.com/ Some time ago, John T. Haller from that page asked for a portable version of Wireshark - exactly for that reason, I've introduced the -P option ;-) http://portableapps.com/development, briefly describes how to build such a portable version. Regards, ULFL P.S: a portable version could also serve as the "zip only" Win32 version that was also requested some time ago ... _______________________________________________ Wireshark-users mailing list Wireshark-users@wireshark.org http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-users
