Hello,
As Coda said, it's easy to make Qt Creator portable but what about Qt?
Qt installer in windows needs absolute paths (at the end of installing
process you'll find that the installer execute patches for absolute
paths) so making Qt it self portable is exhausted procedure but I fixed
this issue easy when I used TrueCrypt <http://www.truecrypt.org/>
because it's creating virtual hard drive on your portable media thus you
can install Qt and Qt Creator on you portable media then you can load it
anywhere you go.
If you don't want to use TrueCrypt try this instead:
Create patch file (*.bat) and include "*subst*" command for creating
virtual drive from specific folder (you can point to relative path of
folder by using %CD% constant).

Qt looks for plugins in a path predetermined at build time. I think
you can override this behavior with a qt.conf file in the same
directory as the .exe file, but I don't know the syntax of this file
and you'd have to put that file alongside every .exe generated by
Creator as well. (It may be possible to do this by hacking on qt.prf?
I'm not sure.)

Hi:
I'm using Qt/QtCreator to teach Medical Informatics to about 50
students. They are working these days in their final project. Some of
them can only use PC's without admin rights at college facilities. If
they are lucky they can find someone with admin rights that can install
Qt Creator for them but when they log in their guest accounts they find
that they have to tweak the environment variables for the guest account
(as in qtcreatordist/bin/qtenv.bat) so Qt Creator can successfully
compile a project. This seems to happen whatever version of Qt Creator
you use. Why there is no "Install for all users" checkbox in the Qt
Creator installer? It would be very useful.
I have tried to make for them a portable version of Qt Creator (copying
the folder Qt/20xx.xx/ and its subfolders). Even after changing the
environment variables Qt Creator doesn't run (complains about
misconfigured settings), neither does Qt Assistant (could not load
sqlite module), neither does Qt Demo (memory at 000 not writable). The
Qt Designer runs OK. If you run the "portable" version in a PC that
already has Qt Creator installed it runs OK too. Am I missing something?
Can you help me with this?
I have other concerns about using Qt/Qt Creator in education but I will
address them later.

Sergio
