The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

Tested MiKTeX Portable (http://miktex.org/portable/about) on XP sp3.

It writes to the registry at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MiKTeX.org\MiKTeX\2.9
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MiKTeX.org\MiKTeX

Plus the usual Trolltech entry.

It also created YAP.ini in C:\WINDOWS

The portable edition allows you to run MiKTeX from a portable storage device

Can someone run it from a removable device and test for portability? Thanks.
