Description Alex6 2017-03-15 16:14:10 UTC

Hi, currently, remove-viewer on Windows isn't a "portable version".
What I mean by this : if you copy/paste the directory of installed remote-viewer on another PC, it won't be able to run because of access required to registry keys.
One typicall case of use : Citrix sessions. In a citrix session, you can't install a program normally, like you would do on any windows client. However you can start some "portable" softwares. 
It can also be very usefull when you are using a Windows client without being logged in as admin : having a portable version on a USB stick would let the user start remote-viewer from the portable version without having to install anything.

Thank you for considering my request.
