While some aspects of OpenLP may attempt to access the registry, the portable app writes nothing to it.
The portable app launcher (which executes OpenLP.exe) has many options (http://portableapps.com/manuals/PortableApps.comLauncher/ref/launcher.ini/index.html #ref-launcher-ini) , one of which is [Environment]. This could be used to append to %path%, pointing to the above mentioned additional apps. I have a machine (Win XP) which has never had Libre/Open office nor VLC installed on it, and can use it for testing various scenarios. I'd like to get OpenLP Portable running first, then we can deal with these side issues. Portable may mean "OpenLP with restrictions", ie Powerpoint, fonts, etc. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenLP Core, which is subscribed to OpenLP. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/781839 Title: make openlp portable Status in OpenLP - Worship Presentation Software: Confirmed Bug description: Openlp should be able to run as a 'portable app, off a USB flash drive without the need to install it. However, for know there are technical limits in pyinstaller which prevents this feature to work properly. App created by Pyinstaller fails to run from a directory containing non ASCII characters. For next major release (version 1.6) it is planned to fix this. Until this is bug of pyinstaller is fixed, I think it is not worth to implement this feature.
