Some days before I gave a request for a portable Lyx to the
request-forum of portableapps.com. Today came an answer: there is
someone, who would build a portable lyx!
Have a look at http://portableapps.com/node/27981. He closes his

lack of updates.

Some years befor there has been topics about a portable LyX in
PortableApps. But they didn't induce a portable Lyx.
On http://code.google.com/p/lytex/ there has been a portable Lyx für a
while. It worked well, but it is abandoned now.

internally. And importing (La)TeX into LyX is not exactly seamless.

AFAIK the directory is defined in the compilation process and there's

The perfect idea would be a portable LyX which includes any library needed
within it.

problem loading new LaTeX styles. Otherwise it's been handy.

What is the benefit of this over the normal Win32 installers? The
documentation on there is sparse.

This is because the directories in Resources\lyxrc.dist are wrong.

I made quite good progress producing a portable LyX installation based

I think wiki.lyx.org may be suitable, but it looks a bit disorganised
