Protein Viewer isn't working on v7.5.1 (no matter if portable or installed). It keeps showing a "demo protein" and believe me: it's boring when compared to an actual protein.

The steps to fix viewer are described at https://portableapps.com/node/61948
Basically you download an archive, unzip it and copy two files.
