Please can you explain exactly how i might ” copy all of the files from the unpacked portable version” and install to the free version. Thanks.
This is a portable version. There is no setup.exe or equivalent in the install folder.
My workaround was to go to the Exiland website, download the free version, install it, and then copy all of the files from the unpacked portable version (SharewareOnSale License) to the newly installed free version folder. Which installs under C:\Exiland Backup Free and not C:\Program Files!
You will also need to go into Settings > Settings File Tab > and change the working folder backup location to C:\Exiland Backup Free\WorkingFolder\settings_copy .
You can see that I didn’t change the directory name from Free to Standard but still works fine.
