What could I do to run XBMC on the other machine?

XBMC needs some runtimes installed so it not a true portable application that can be copied and pasted between locations. Run the installer on the PC and then delete the installation and you then maybe ok, not something I've tried though.

Thank you, jjd-uk,

So, install XBMC the normal way, then deinstall the XBMC installation? And then the portable XBMC should run? Did I understand it right?

Could I install those runtimes (whatever it is) manually?

Thanks again.

Yeah that's right but I've not ever tried it, however it's the runtimes I suspect you're missing, I can't remember the runtimes off top of head but installer lists them as they can be deselected, DirectX is certainly one.

VC2008/2010/2013 and direct X

Btw, easiest solution is probably to always use installer then copy Portable_Data folder between PC's.

Thank you for that, Martijn,

I am very sorry, I am not quite sure, what you mean by that.

Those runtimes...is that meant: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/...en&id=5555? And after having installed that, XBMC might run? And that (on the first Notebook): http://i.imgur.com/iFrQetE.png

Hmmm, so install XBMC on the second machine the usual way, then add the -p switch to the exe link, then start XBMC, close it, then copy the user_data folder / XBMC to a place you want it and then copy the user_data folder (or does it become the portable_data folder?) from the first machine to the second machine and overwrite the portable_data folder. So I would have the identical XBMC on the second Notebook, I assume, with all my settings.

And DirectX I would have to install, also?
