I guess you haven't installed many programs.
They run an install process that installs it, checks for updates as
part of that. When it's done I can't begin to imagine how you'd then
move that to another system. That pretty much went away with MSDOS.


Actually, there are thousands of free, portable apps which do not
require a typical "installation".

Whether there is a capable tax filing app, I don't know.

Sure sounds like it works similar to other apps:




"The PortableApps.com Platform
installs and automatically updates
your apps and let's you view by
category, title, new, or recent updates"


PortableApps.com Updater - Your Apps Are Up To Date

With PortableApps.com, you don't need to worry about making sure your software is up to date. When a new security fix for your browser is released or a new feature in your favorite game is available, the PortableApps.com Updater will automatically let you know. Just click a button and the updates are downloaded and installed without messing up your settings and saved files.. And if you're in a hurry or using a computer on a slow connection, you can wait until later with just a click.



It doesn't say anything about installing it on PC A, updating it there,
then moving the files over to PC B.
