Public bug reported:

Openlp should be able to run as a 'portable app, off a USB flash drive
without the need to install it.

However, for know there are technical limits in pyinstaller which
prevents this feature to work properly.

App created by Pyinstaller fails to run from a directory containing non
ASCII characters.

For next major release (version 1.6) it is planned to fix this.

Until this is bug of pyinstaller is fixed, I think it is not worth to
implement this feature.
