Hi,

i?m searching for a portable Pure Data... Is there a possibillitii to use pd-extendet as a portable Windows application?

i guess, with "portable" you mean "put on a USB-stick and it runs on
any w32 machine" and not "portable to FreeBSD, BeOS and CPM".

in this sense, Pd-vanilla is portable out of the box. download the zip file, unzip it onto your USB-stick and move.

i guess that Pd-extended would be portable as well, if there wasn't an installer :-) you might have luck by downloading the Pd-extended, run it on your machine and let it unpack into %ProgramFiles%\Pd-extended and then
copy the entire contents of this folder (%ProgramFiles%\Pd-extended) to
your floppy disk.

the binary is called "pd.exe" and lives in <path-to-pd>/bin/

There is now an installer and zip for Pd-extended 0.43. If you want
to use Pd-extended 0.42 on a USB stick, then just use the installer to
install it onto the USB stick, and it'll work anywhere. That will
look in the registry for config information, so it might not work well
for you.

We are looking for testers of the new zip package, so give it a try:

http://autobuild.puredata.info/auto-build/latest/Pd-0.43.1-extended-windowsx...

Just unzip wherever, and then double-click the pd-extended.bat inside.
