I wanted to take on Gregs suggestion to update ATutor2Go, and have made a portable package of ATutor 1.6.2 (with all current patches) and xampplite for Windows.
The package can be downloaded here:

If someone would like to test it I would be greatful for any comments whatsoever.

Hello eviking
I have been installing your package on a stick and also on a couple og hard drives and I must say that it is working very well.
However - one of my PC's, where I have installed the package on the hard drive, will not start the Apache Web Server. It simply says that it cannot find the php5apache2_2.dll eventhough it is there in the filesystem.
The PC has been formatted and XP installed with the sole purpose to test out Atutor.
If I use your package on a stick it does not work eiter.
Have you any ideas?

Hello,
I used full XAMPP and installed it and ATutor on USB flash without any glitches or difficulties. Since current USB sticks are of sufficient storage capacity I prefer to use full XAMPP.
I installed it on 512 MB USB Stick without any issues and it takes approx 230 MB so full 270 is left for data which is I guess more than enough for everyone. Indeed, rager capacity USB sticks are even more convenient.
If needed I can write manual how to do it.
Best wishes,
Vedran

Oerving,
You say you have installed the package on the hard drive:
Is it installed in a top level folder, for example c:\xampplite ?
It will not work properly if it is installed in a sub folder, for example:
c:\programfiles\xampplite

Hi eviking
Yeps - I have installed the whole package in the root folder as unpacked by the zip utility.
I will try to reinstall XP without any SP in order to see if this helps.

Hi eviking
Reinstall of XP did not work but maybe the problem is memory. The PC has only 256MB RAM.
Could it be the problem?

When I started it from USB stick which means that it is installed on USB I did not have special problems. If it is USB 1.1 connector it may be a bit slow.
Hoowever, it may depend on CPU and RAM, but more is always better.
Please experiment withvarious machines and you will notice difference.
Best wishes,

Is anyone interested in creating a portable version of ATutor 1.6.3?
Perhaps start a Sourceforge project?
