<p>Not sure if you figured this out yet leafcutterant but you can get Bisq to be portable* for the Windows family.  Start by installing the application directly on the USB medium.  By default Bisq stores application data at C:\Users<user>\AppData\Roaming.</p>
<p>To get around this there is two things you can do.</p>
<ol>
<li>Copy your Bisq AppData to the USB stick</li>
<li>Create a shortcut of the application you installed on USB.</li>
<li>Edit the shortcut so that Target ends with  --appDataDir "D:\AppDataFolder" where D:\AppDataFolder is the path to the AppData on USB.</li>
</ol>
<p>The drawback of this method is that I don't believe shortcuts support relative paths, meaning you would have to assign the same letter to your drive each time you wanted to use it.</p>
<p>The second method can get around this.<br>
Create a new shortcut on the USB drive.  In the target place: %COMSPEC% /C .\Bisq\Bisq.exe --appDataDir ".\AppData"<br>
Replace .\Bisq\Bisq.exe with the relative path to the exe and .\AppData with the path to the AppData.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
