The moment I read the above, I got a cunning idea to install Zorro on a shared (network) disk, so that I could easily access scripts and other Zorro files from my primary operating system. And it went great, and I'm so happy. I really had no idea that Zorro could run from anywhere, so thank you jcl for the hint.

But, today I noticed first issue with this setup, when I launch Help from the Zorro, the chm file gets opened, the index is read, but there's nothing in the right pane (no actual content). At first I thought that chm file is possibly built in a way that prevents linking content when chm file is on the network drive, but it's nothing like that.

As it turns out, it's yet another Windows quasi-we-know-better-security (mis-)feature. You shall not opet help file from the network drive, because it's dangerous. So silly...

Fortunately, there's a quick fix described here: http://www.helpandmanual.com/products_hhreg.html

On the bright side, Zorro itself really works flawlessly from the network drive, and it makes me very happy. wink
