Try This

Odd, it wasn't doing that in my testing earlier. If you'd like to try the fix I'll release, please open up the balenaEtcherPortable.ini file within balenaEtcherPortable\App\AppInfo\Launcher and change it to:

[Launch]
ProgramExecutable=balenaEtcher\balenaEtcher.exe
ProgramExecutable64=balenaEtcher64\balenaEtcher.exe
CommandLineArguments=--user-data-dir="%PAL:DataDir%\balenaEtcherConfig"
DirectoryMoveOK=yes
SupportsUNC=yes

[Activate]
Registry=true

[RegistryKeys]
-=HKCU\Software\Classes\etcher

[DirectoriesMove]
balenaEtcherDictionaries=%APPDATA%\balena-etcher\Dictionaries

[DirectoriesCleanupIfEmpty]
1=%APPDATA%\balena-etcher

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

That works

That works. Thank you. I'm not running the app from a flash drive but from a folder on the C: drive. Any possibility that might have been the root (pun not intended) of the problem?

No

No, it's unrelated. This will be fixed in the next release of the app.

Fixed in 1.18.4

This is fixed in today's release of balenaEtcher Portable 1.18.4. The previous version was 1.13.1 but misnumbered as 1.31.1.
