Hello
I'm trying to get Orbiter2010-P1 to run as a Portable App, and failing.
When a fresh Orbiter install is ran for the first time it checks 3 things:
Code:
Test 1: Directory structure
Test 2: C++ runtime libraries
Test 3: Checking DirectX
If Test 2: C++ runtime libraries fails, the check program will run the Microsoft utility Install\vcredist_x86.exe which will copy the required files to various Windows System folders.
The copy process will fail unless you are logged in as a System Administrator, and Orbiter will never run.
This is very unfortunate if you are trying to run Orbiter elsewhere than at home.
Orbiter2006 did not have this issue, drag and drop its folder onto a USB stick and it could run from anywhere on almost any system.
I'm trying to get around this limitation, can anyone help?
Thanks,

Apologies for DP, first thread went AWOL on me
