Re: Running LilyPond from a memory stick

[Mats Bengtsson]

I would be interested in such a solution as well, since I just got a new 
Laptop from
my employer with Windows Vista and no administrators rights to install 
any new programs.
Interstingly enough, one exception is MikTeX, which can be installed in 
the local users
directory without any administrators rights.
