JWLMerge has a "portable" version. Has anyone used it? What is the difference between it and the installed version?

Usually, in a softwares, “portable” version of a software means you do not need to install the program. You can put the file in anywhere you’d like, (e.g. desktop, USB drive, …) and it will work. You can’t do that with installed version, since if you move the installed files to another computer or folders, it won’t work. It has to be at the exact installed location.

 

It seems this is what they are talking about. There should not be a difference in functionality.

There's also an iPhone/iPad app called JWLM in the App Store.  I don't think it's the same developer.  But what I like about this app is that once you combine the backups, it will tell you what conflicts there are (highlighter color differences, notes, etc.) and let you choose which one you want to keep.
