Note i downloaded
Opera_95.0.4635.90_Setup
called USB-version https://www.opera.com/download#opera-browser
even though it appear to be the same as the majority of other claimedOpera_95.0.4635.90_Setup looks to be the normal, non-portable installer.
For the portable version, you'd normally goto https://www.opera.com/download#opera-usb and download Opera_PortableSetup.exe and then install it where you want it. However, since you're on Windows 7, I don't know if that setup file will give you version 95 that's compatible with Windows 7.
So, instead, you can goto https://www.opera.com/download#opera-95 to download the offline package listed there to get the normal, non-portable 95 installer. Then, when you launch it, you click "options", change the "install path" to where you want and change "install for" to "standalone installation" to make it a portable install. You already downloaded the non-portable 95 installer though. You just have to use the "options" in its installer to make a portable install on a different drive. if you want.

What does offline installation mean?
I have anyway unistsalled previous versions and installed the offline 64 files
You write
"Then, when you launch it, you click "options", change the "install path" to where you want and change "install for" to "standalone installation" to make it a portable install. "Where is that option window in the opera setup?
To me it sounds like the things you want me to do are 2 separate operations?
Create a portable installer is a pre-installation meassureAnd the second operation to relocate profile folder is where i find the change path that you want me to do in the first operation
and i go through the shortcut (but then its allready installed)
"For example, if you want your Opera data to be on your
drive in a folder named "operadata", you can go in the properties of Opera's shortcuts and change the target command on the shortcut tab from:@burnout426 said in Opera portable transfer old profile troubles:

Opera has 2 types of installers.
There's the net installer that's a small download (like 2MB) that doesn't actually include Opera's program files. The net installer instead fetches them from Opera's servers when you choose to install Opera.
The offline installer on the other hand is the big download file that includes all of Opera's program files in it so that you don't have to be connected to the net (aka, you're offline) to install Opera.

Where is that option window in the opera setup?You have to launch the installer first and then click "options".

I used Opera portable version from 2021 before i was forced to reinstall windows 7
On the previous installation of Windows 7 you used a portable installation of Opera. But, on the new installation of Windows 7, what type of installation of Opera to you want to use? Do you want to use a regular installation or use a portable installation again?

I wanna create a portable installer according to your instructions below
"So, instead, you can goto https://www.opera.com/download#opera-95 to download the offline package listed there to get the normal, non-portable 95 installer.

But your screenshot here didnt make it clearer how your "options button" will lead to "install path" settings
This is my pairing of what i think you request? and it looks a bit different
Installation path settings? -

Okay thanks i found it, your strange installer with a picture! of an opened opera interface, when i didnt find "options" in my installer i as you can see in my previous screenshot was forced to consider the farfetched possibility that the picture was a screenshot from inside your opended and allready installed Opera and its internal settings
well operators have implemented unessesary feats before according to meThis is how my shit looks like, and now im going to reinstall
You will here from me again soon -

Im satisfied with 95 build none Portable versionThis folder of Opera Portable however have a serious problem i cant identify
when clicking launcher exe or opera.exe it will open browser but close down browser after 15 seconds, then it does a new attempt and autorestarts after the crash, and crash again after 15 seconds, it does this 3 or 4 times in a row, after that it will stop the autorestart attempts and you need to klick the exe file again if you wanna restart theauto closedown cycleIt does this without ant error message.
Can you extract some error report with leads? out of OperaWhen i cant get into the browser it makes it hard to have time to extract and transfer the
unsaved data like all bookmarks that needs to be exported and saves as a html file on my computer.
Here you can see the folder to see if you can see any traces of files that may trigger the autoclosedown, either some files need to be removed or replaced or what do you think?
could be inside the profile folder also

Yes. Opera has an autorestart after crash feature that it tries a few times and then gives up.
First thing I would do is rename the "profile" folder to "profile old" and try to start Opera. If it doesn't crash any longer, you know it's in your profile folder. When done testing, you can delete the new "profile" folder and rename "profile old" back to "profile".
Another thing you can do is try to start Opera in safe mode. In a command prompt:
cd "path to your Opera folder"and then:
launcher --disable-gpu --disable-extensionsWhat's that do?
On a side note, hit Windows key + r, type
control foldersand press enter to load Explorer's folder options. On the "View" tab, uncheck "hide extensions for known file types". That way you can see file extensions for Opera's files.
