@Mixture: This is really something you need to post about in forums.
v7.16.2674
I tried the latest version of this dictionary/thesaurus portable software and still had problems with it. Only this time, I recorded my problem.

v7.16.2674
I for the latest version, 7.15.2672, on SnapFiles and downloaded it. However, upon unzipping it and running the main app, my system immediately treat the theSage.exe as malware and erased it. I securely wiped the ZIP file, downloaded it again and extracted it, only to see Bandizip say "Access is denied(5)" the main app was erased again. I'm glad I have version 6.10.1816 on my desktop and version 7.8.2644 on my portable drive. Neither give me any problems.
v7.15.2672
I might have paid for the advanced options if there was some indication as to what they are!!
v7.11.2654
TheSage is now at 6.10.1816. Since your download link points to that version via TheSage home page you might as well update the entry here to reflect the current version number.

v4.5.1790
Today I visited one of the thesaurus sites available on the internet that are overrun by ads, videos, and other impossibly goofy distractions. It was then that I was really happy I had The Sage, not just because it's not overloaded with junk, but because it's a superior resource for understanding meaning, related words, and opposites. It's like a tabbed web browser for the dictionary complete with bookmarks, wildcards, and more.
v4.5.1784
I just installed version 5.1.1790, which is a public release that is now available on the author's website. The app is 100% portable, as long as that option is chosen during installation. All settings will be saved to the application folder, and you will not find an entry in the control panel's list of installed programs. Simply copy the entire folder to a USB drive to run it from there. There are a number of improvements to the GUI and the one-click lookup options, including extensions for compatibility with Firefox and Chrome.
v4.5.1784
It is messy. Hot keys conflicts with windows hks. Couldn't make it speak the words. Accumulate words searched making a mess for our eyes. "Lingoes", for me, is still the best freeware for this.
