Difference between Installer and Portable Editions Image

Most of our software products are offered in two editions: Installer and Portable

What is Installer?

Installer is an application packaged into an installation program (setup). The installer places the application into a specific folder, customarily into "Program Files (x86)", creates shortcuts and adds an uninstaller. The installer may also register file associations and extra components in the system to enable additional functionality of the application. Installer usually requires administrator privileges.

If you copy the configuration files together with the executable file to another media, all your settings will be carried across too.
