The download link didn't work yesterday ... that's why I skipped the update.

Sorry for version typo. Correct version is: v5.01 Build 12254

I changed the download link to new version ;)

@ __philippe: I've seen the update, too.
But the download still gives you v5.0 build 12200, that's why I didn't update the entry.

Bandizip v5.0 released (changelog: http://www.bandisoft.com/bandizip/history/).

Portable Bandizip support ONLY English language. You need to download (http://www.bandisoft.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=215) language file and rename it English.ini (replace original).
Or it is differently?

The download link (at 29 April 2014) leads to the Bandizip installer bandizip-setup-gl.exe. The portable zip is available at http://www.bandisoft.com/bandizip/dl.php?portable.

The UI bug present since Bandizip v1.x hasn't been fixed yet... :(

For portable context menu, use Open++ (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=2084) with Bandizip's command-line args:

well, if thats the only way, im going to extract the installer and set config to nonportable mode. curious to know why they limited the portable version that much (only 32bit, no 7z, no context integration...)?

I see. My Bandizip is in fact installed.

BTW, you need 'bdzshl32.dll' to get the shell menu -- if you register that file manually, the option may become available...

@midas: thanks, but i dont find that entry in portable mode. i guess you have to install the programm in order to see this setting. wished it would handle it like 7zip portable, where the context menu is no problem. well - maybe a workaround exists?

@ixz: see "Options | Settings" (or press F5), then "Context Menu" button...

anybody knows how to get context menu entries with the portable version?

@outskirter:

(...The portable version does not include the internal image viewer/previewer, and even though the options for it are still there in the Settings menu, you'll get an error message that AIView can't be loaded. That's because its components are missing...)

This has been fixed as of version 3.07, in a roundabout way : while the Portable version still lacks the internal image viewer module, the option to use it is now greyed out in the Settings menu.

BTW, in answer to my request, the BZ admin has kindly provided an updated summary table clarifying the differences between the four Bandizip versions available for download, namely :
Install / Admin / Portable / Mac OS/X

Thanks, Midas! My mistake; I kept looking in the Bandizip forum, rather than the Bandisoft announcements.

@outskirter: check http://www.bandicam.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1476

Oh, and why is there never a change log shown for Bandizip's updates? I've even had that problem on their site.

I've tried Version 3 in both the portable and installer versions. Since I only use one computer, my own, having entries added to my registry is not as critical as I thought, so I've opted for the installer, for the following reasons:

The portable version does not include the internal image viewer/previewer, and even though the options for it are still there in the Settings menu, you'll get an error message that AIView can't be loaded. That's because its components are missing.

Another thing that's included with the installer, but is missing from the portable version is the subfolder "7z", which contains the DLLs and EXEs for 7-Zip (except for 7-Zip's file manager). The upshot of this is that I can't uncompress installer files in EXE format with the portable version, but can with the full version installed. It's like getting a brand-new 7-Zip with a much better UI.

rogerthedodger: it's really up to the person posting the entry. In this case, I just wanted to get this posted and didn't want to run a system test to find out for sure.

Is there any reason that some new additions no longer say if its stealth or not?
