Installed portable version to the wrong drive

I mistakenly installed Macro Express Pro Portable on a non-portable drive.

Macro Express Pro Portable is designed to be installed on a portable drive. A portable drive is any type of drive that can be connected to and disconnected from your computer. These may be referred to as a USB drive, flash drive, flash memory, thumb drive, memory stick or portable hard drive.

If Macro Express Pro Portable is installed on a non-removable drive, such as your C: drive, it will change the icon assigned to that drive and will cause unexpected results. For example, Macro Express Pro Portable will not be included in the list of programs that can be uninstalled by Windows and the icon assigned to that drive may be set to the icon intended to be displayed for portable drives.

To remove Macro Express Pro Portable that was mistakenly installed on a non-portable drive:

Delete the x:\Apps folder along with all files and folders under it.

  1. Delete x:\autorun.inf
  2. Delete x:\autorun-ISS.inf
  3. Delete x:\LaunchApps.exe


Where x: represents the letter of the drive where Macro Express Pro Portable was installed.
