SR 3D Builder made PORTABLE

Hi
here are the instructions for how to create a portable version of my application
(maybe someone need it):
Things should be by far much more easy than you expect if PC you would like to
run my application on already meets the requirements (MS framework 2.0 and
correct DirectX version).

Following these steps should work, assuming you have a USB memory with 128MB or
more free space as U: drive and you have performed a standard application
installation of my SR3DBuilder:
1- Copy the contents of the c:\lDraw folder and subfolders into U:\
2- Create a folder on U to store my application system files (i.e. U:\SR3DB)
3- Copy the contents of my application installation folder (usually c:\Program
Files\SR3DBuilder) in U:\SR3DB (you can avoid copying the unins*.* and
fulldownload.exe files )
4- Start SR3DBuilder.exe from U:\SR3DB
5a- If prompted for choosing the part library folder, choose U:\lDraw
5b- If NOT prompted for choosing the part library folder, choose File-->Setup
Directory from SR3DB menu and select U:\lDraw folder

you should be able to run the application from the USB stick now. It works at
first try for me!!
Please also notice the following:
- on any computer you run SR3DB the first time or anytime your USB stick change
its associated drive letter you have to repeat step 5a
- parts image loading will be tedious the first time are displayed (then will be
cached)
- the extension .l3b is not associated with the application
- some registry entries are written while using the application
- maybe some other issues
