+### Requirements ###

+Wsltty does not seem to work with WSL V2 mode since release 2.0.0 (#343).
+As a workaround until a solution in the wslbridge gateway, it is suggested 
+to install [release 1.3.17](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/releases/tag/1.3.17); 
+maybe uninstall WSL first, see [issue 343 comment](https://github.com/mintty/wsltty/issues/343#issuecomment-1818367512).
+Another remedy could be to configure your WSL distributions to run in WSL V1 mode, for example:
+`wsl --set-version Ubuntu 1`.
 
 Since release 3.0.5, WSLtty requires Windows version 1809 (the November 2018 release).

+#### WSLtty Portable installer
+
+For a portable installation, e.g. on a USB stick, choose the 
+“-install-portable.exe” file for download. Installation will prompt 
+for a portable installation folder interactively. 
+For example, choosing `U:\opt` will create and use folder 
+`U:\opt\wsltty` both as installation directory and configuration directory.
+Portable installation does not install any start menu or desktop shortcuts 
+and no context menu entries. It creates a shortcut in the selected 
+portable installation folder to start the default WSL distribution.
