Yeah it's good to know no registry entries are needed. May have to invest in a decent sized memory stick soon.

Just copy the folder and it works like always

Why can't more software companies develop software that does not rely on Windows Registry? Kudos to MindArk! and Long Live Portable software!!

Maybe MA could include this as part of their advertising? ;o)

Or even sell theor own branded memory sticks with entropia preinstalled on them...

Well EU client DOES write to windows registry, but the loader check for the entries when the game is launched. If missing it will write them. You could use a simple installer monitor tool to see what it does. Installer LE that is used for MSI-packaging recorded some registry entry when I tested it. Nothing that seems essential for the game to work though. I have a EU installation copy on a USB-hard drive, I can move it around to any PC I like and it seems to work fine. All that happened on one of the PC's I tested on was that the DX0 installation started automaticly since that PC didn't have DX installed. After that it seemed fine.

Copy diretorie on the key.

If you whant you can remouve many many many useless file , like most of the song(be carefull , keep the sound or EU crash).

When I have mroe time later i'll play around with the folder and see if I can get it on my 2gb stick. If not i'll just have to buy a bigger memory stick.

True. But I am unsure whether I will be allowed to fill up the destination pc I have in mind with "junk"
