And if we do ignore that for portable apps, assuming we'd like to ship

we're running installed so that we could write the file association

hard-drive-installed app?
And we're back to the original question :-)
"I'd like to be able to determine if an app is running from a removable
drive."
Only somewhat. Aside from the ability to launch the app by
double-clicking a file, every other aspect of universal portability
seems to be pretty simple with Rev.
Of course, Windows users are IMO more likely to launch the app first,
then the doc.
We can hope so, but most of my apps support documents and my customers
would kill me if I removed that option.
Alternatively, I could safely provide that for 95% of my customers by
writing the reg entry only when the boot volume is the same as the
volume the app is running on.
