[nvda] Re: ow to install the portable version

Hi Jose,
The above link is off the NVDA website on how to set one up. Basically, make sure that the portable version is unzipped to your usb stick. You will need to create a directory called NVDA on that drive. You will also need to download the autorun.inf file. Make sure you put the inf file into the main root directory (not inside any folder on that usb stick/drive). If this file is put inside a folder it will not work! It must be in the main screen (root directory) of that stick. Eg. if your Kingston drive is E:, then it must be straight in the E drive and not inside any folder on that E drive. The inf file should point towards the NVDA.exe file if done correctly. When you go to plug the stick into your pc, it should come up with a autorun screen if this facility is turned on. You may need to check to see if this is enabled, or update your service pack with Windows. If this works, start NVDA should appear on the screen as an option at the top. Press enter and it should work. 

Good luck
Gene

Hi. I would prefer to load NVDA automatically. So, I went to nvda page to see what kind of procedures to take.
Then, I copied the portable version to my kingstone's portable hard drive and autorun.inf file.
However, it doesn't work. Any help will be apreciated. Best regards, Manuel Ramos ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hallsworth" <christopherh40@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

You don't. You just type the full path to the NVDA program. So, for example, if you created a folder called NVDA on to the root of your flash drive, and 
your flash drive was assigned drive letter E, then you'd type:
e:\nvda\nvda.exe. Once you've done that press enter. Note the .exe extension is completely optional since the run dialogue box assumes you want to run a 
program if you don't type an extension.
