Using Bluevoda on other computers

[scousepete79]

Does anyone know if you are able to use bluevoda from an external drive (such as a memory stick / CD)? I would like to be able to use it at work, but due to our strict policies, I am not allowed to install the program on my work computer. All pages I upload etc... are saved to a memory stick anyway and I use these on my home PC, but am I able to actually run Bluevoda (the program) from a memory stick / CD?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Yes, it can be done, but all working files must remain germain to the Blue Voda (sub)folder and a properly loaded BV program to a separate folder/directory....basically using a single external drive for a "public" load of BV (the program) and a sub-load of BV files...
Preview will not be usable, however, as this requires BV to be loaded onto the C drive or Desktop to interface with IE.

Thanks for your speedy response.

So when I click to install Bluevoda, instead of overwriting the program which is already on my machine (C: drive), do I install it to the external drive and run it from there?

Preview etc... is not an issue, as I will just upload my pages and check them live rather than previewing. The changes I will make on a daily basis will only be minimal, but would just like to do it at work rather than when I get home.

Yes....actually install a new BV onto the external - manually specify during installation. (Don't try to copy from pre-existing loaded version..it won't take)
You can then COPY your entire BV folder (in MY Documents) to the external as well.
Use this external solely for this BV function.....

Brilliant! Thanks very much. Will give it a try when I get home tonight and see if it works.

Thanks for your time.
