OSCAR Windows Portable No-Install
#11
RE: OSCAR Windows Portable No-Install
Sorry to dig up this old post yet again, but I have a related question: can you install multiple copies of OSCAR on the same computer and use them to view the same profile so you could do things like viewing the daily and overview windows at the same time? Or do a daily view of more than one day at the same time?

RE: OSCAR Windows Portable No-Install
Yes and no. I do this for development. As you install OSCAR, rename its folder. I currently have, OSCAR, OSCAR1.4.0, OSCAR1.5.0, OSCAR1.5.1, and OSCAR1.5.1A. The only problem is if all of them use the same OSCAR_Data directory, the first instance of OSCAR will place a lock file on it. This will prevent subsequent instances of OSCAR access to the data.

RE: OSCAR Windows Portable No-Install
So then would it work if I simply copied the contents of the data folder from the "original" instance to the other instances' data folders after uploading from my SD card to the original?

There is only one OSCAR_Data folder. The OSCAR program is stored in the Program File directory. The OSCAR_Data directory default location is in the Documents directory. There is nothing to copy.

RE: OSCAR Windows Portable No-Install
Hello Crimson Nape,

I'm having the same issue as CraigKevin: I only have a company laptop (threw out the old pc) and have no admin rights. Your dropbox zip-file expired, would it be possible to share a copy of the OSCAR 1.5.1 file folder so I can copy it?

Thanks in advance  Thanks

Hi Ossy01!  -  Welcome
That link is 3 years old and, as you have found, no longer valid.  The download link for OSCAR v1.5.1 is embedded in this sentence and is available at the top of every page here.  Look in the black ribbon for "OSCAR". For safety reasons, only download OSCAR from this location.

Let me know if you experience any problems.

RE: OSCAR Windows Portable No-Install
Hello Crimson Nape,

Thanks for your swift reply. I did find the download link for OSCAR v.1.5.1, but since I don't own a pc anymore and I'm limited to a company laptop without admin / installation rights, I can't use the executable file. This is the reason for my request for a copy of the OSCAR installation folder. Until now, I've been using the SleepyHead-1.1.0-testing2 executable, which will run without installation.

Could you help me to a copy of the OSCAR 1.5.1 installation folder?
Thanks in advance!
