Hi,

I usually like to install eclipse on my flash drive so I can take it with me for work and home development.

I installed Myeclipse (MyEclipse_5.5.1GA_E3.2.2_FullStackInstaller) on my flash drive at work today and try to run at home computer, I got error as followed,

!SESSION 2007-08-27 20:38:11.068 ———————————————–

So I did another full installation again to make it work but I worried if this is the right way.
Please advise how I can run Myeclipse on portable drive?

Thanks!

I guess you would hava to have your portable drive mounted on the same driveletter on both systems, as in the file {installpath}\eclipse\links\com.genuitec.eclipse.MyEclipse.link there is a reference to that same {installpath} and if that differs between systems, it won’t be able to find itself.

There are tools (free for personal use at least) to have a USB drive mount on the same (user specified) driveletter, so that should be solvable.

I didn’t test this personally, though…

Hi Charles,
Let me know if you get MyEclipse to work on the flash drive by following what Ton suggested.

Thanks for the info.

I was able to change the letter in my computer/Manager first place for my Ipod.
For Flash Drive (I have SanDisk U3 ) is bit more work. You need this tool like Ton mentioned http://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbdlm_e.html
U3 need 2 drive letters. One for the system and one for the volume.

You can do either way as long as save your time. Thanks!
