Any update on this?? Is it being worked on? Or am I just beating a dead horse here?

Yeah, at this point I'd be willing to pay for just a true PORTABLE version, something that doesn't need to be run off a flash drive only......

Any update on getting FFS to work in a WinPE enviroment?

Yeah, kinda would like to know if this is going to be fixed or not.

Me either, please fix this issue ASAP. thanks! c932, 19 Sep 2022, 03:19

Hopefully the dev is working on it :-)

Yeah I would like to see this fixed as well, being able to run from a PE flash drive would be nice, it's one of the main reason's I went ahead and got the donation edition.

Why are you running FFS from the RAM drive at all? You run it from the USB drive directly Not sure its a problem of where FFS is being run from, I think it's because windows is being run from the RAM drive and I'am guessing FFS is trying to find something from the windows folder and it can't find i...

I wouldn't mind seeing a "Technician" version made available, don't need any of the extras like real time sync or even the multi-threaded option, just needs to be truly portable and will run from anywhere, I don't even mind that you have to be online for the activation check. I'd even be w...

Zenju - Any ideas on what I can try to get this to work under PE? v7.6 works fine, but I figured it was time to upgrade to a current version.

Thanks.

You don't use the installer to create a portable version. The ZIP version is the only way to use it portably xCSxXenon, 24 Aug 2022, 21:12

Yeah, I'am using the one in the ZIP file from the download page, I just did the installer option as a test to see if it made a difference.

X: is PE's boot drive, has the windows folder, program files folder, users folder etc.

tried therube's idea and that will also get around using the launcher, but it still throws the error msg I posted above, looks like it's trying to open a file somewhere that maybe it doesn't have access too or something to do with activation?

Yeah, looks like that is the issue, my build of PE will only run 64bit apps, but I can get around that message if I run FreeFileSync_x64.exe from the bin folder, but when I do that I get a new error msg. https://i.imgur.com/nLZ6tDb.jpeg I've tried it with the Portable version from the provided ZIP f...

Hi, just got the donation version and was wondering if the Portable version will run on a Windows 10 PE flash drive? The old 7.6 version runs fine but I keep getting an error when trying to run the current version. The error msg is "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)&quo...

Just throwing my 2 cents in but I would much rather have the old view or at least a way to switch between them.....

Have you looked into using Macros? Plerry, 24 Jan 2019, 09:29

Thanks! Did not even know those existed.

Would like to see the ability to add the Date/Time to the destination folder for multiple copies.

I was thinking along the lines of a varible like [DT] that could be added to the destination selection.

IE:
Source: C:\Data
Dest: Z:\Backups\[DT]
