Question #173993 on Sikuli changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/173993

    Status: Open => Answered

RaiMan proposed the following answer:
I have made a Sikuli-IDE-portable.bat, that allows to run Sikuli from a
stick.

*** What is needed:
- a directory on the stick with the contents of the folder contained in the zipped bundle (alternatively you might copy the "Sikuli X" directory of a Sikuli installation to the stick)
- put Sikuli-IDE-portable.bat in this directory too
- the machine, where you are using the stick, must have a valid Java (JRE) installation (you might use a portable Java package - but then you have to modify the Sikuli-IDE-portable.bat)

*** Sikuli-IDE-portable.bat - what it does
- it checks the java installation and sets the system path as needed (exits if no standard java found)
- it creates a temp directory on the stick for Sikuli
- it restores the registry branch where Sikuli stores it's preferences (if a reg file exists on the stick)
- you may decide to save the preferences to a reg file after terminating Sikuli
- and finally Sikuli-IDE is started from the stick

---TakeCare:  Sikuli-IDE-portable.bat  runs even if on the machine
another Sikuli is already installed, but it changes the registry. Feel
free to add code, that saves an already existing registry branch and
restores it again at the end.
