Hello.
Is there a way to use LyX in Portable Mode without installing MiKTeX?
I want to be able to edit TeX files and produce PDF without installing programs
(Use only portable programs).
You cannot produce PDF from TeX files without a LaTeX distribution
such as MiKTeX. Otherwise, LyX is not exactly a TeX editor.

Thanks.
One however "install" (i.e., download and uncompress) MiKTeX portable
version, and point to the MiKTeX bin directory while installing LyX.
If all the Lyx settings files are stored in the Lyx installation
directory itself, then the entire Lyx installation folder can be copied
and used as Lyx portable version so long the computer to which it is
copied to has MiKTeX portable. If the directories are different, one
much change the path variable in the Lyx paths and, if needed,
reconfigure Lyx.
The question now is that whether Lyx stores all the settings files in
the installation directory itself, and not use registry (for windows,
etc). Perhaps one of the developers could have answer to this more
specific question.
