# TileStream Portable
This is portable app to read mbtiles.
- Can be run from a usb drive
- No dependencies or install needed, just uncompress and run
- Works with minimal administrator permissions
Windows build: http://cl.ly/173Q060y0J0d
Mac OS X build: http://cl.ly/2Y180k1E2e3E
### Caveats
- Don't try to run from within this archive, make sure to extract it
- This app runs in your web browser: Please use Chrome or Firefox not IE
### Usage
1. Open the archive and read the README.txt
2. Extract the 'app' folder somewhere
3. Open the 'app' folder in its new location
4. Double-click the 'start-tilestream' file inside the 'app' folder
5. This will open a console and your web browser
6. Add 'mbtiles' to the `app/tiles` folder to view them
7. Stop the app by closing the console
### Troubleshooting
1. Page does not load
Try reloading the page in your browser.
2. Page still does not load
Find the open app console and look for errors: report them to dane@mapbox.com
3. After the app starts, a blocked firewall warning may pop up.
If you have admin you can allow access for:
Evented I/O for V8 Javascript
If you do not have admin, Windows XP should still allow TileMill to work
and you should be able to ignore it.
But on Windows Vista/7/8 you must have administrative access at least once.
4. Missing C++ runtime
If you see an error like:
The application has failed to start because MSVCP100.dll was not found...
Then double-click and install the 'vcredist_x86.exe'.
Installing this requires administrator priveleges, but only needs to be run once.
This is the C++ 2010 runtime (vcredist_x86) and can also be downloaded from:
