I don't think we have much choice. Assuming we're talking Windows:
LibreOffice is controlled via COM and so'll it'll use whatever is in the registry. 
vlc.py (which we use as is, unmodified) detects where VLC is. It appears to use ctypes.find_library first, so unless we can somehow override where this looks (which I think is the Windows %path%) then again it's out of our hands.

Title:
  make openlp portable

Status in OpenLP - Worship Presentation Software:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
