Hello, I fairly new to this community and I am loving the XBMC.
I have recently installed XBMC to my Apple TV2 and its great, but having issue
playing 720P contents from icefilms.

So I decided to install xbmc to my Windows 7 machine, but I do not want to
touch my registry....

Is there xbmc portable version where I can just run it without installing anything to my PC?

Any help greatly appreciated

xbmc live boots from a cd or usb drive.

From the wiki:

Can XBMC be run in portable mode?

If you wish, you may run XBMC in portable mode by adding the -p switch to the shortcut used to launch XBMC. This will then use the XBMC folder itself as the Home folder, which means scripts, plugins, skins and userdata will be located in the 'portable_data' folder within the XBMC folder. This is useful for running XBMC for Windows off a USB stick for portability.

You will, however, have to be careful when upgrading to make sure that the UserData folder you use is not overwritten.

XBMC doesn't mess about with the registry. It's a very well behaved app. The only things XBMC will do to Windows is make sure the Microsoft DirectX libraries are installed, and this uses the downloader from Microsoft.

Just install XBMC and play. If you don't like just uninstall and it won't leave behind any rubbish.
