Since all my comments are ignored in this topic: https://portableapps.com/node/32157, I decided to create a separate one.
On Windows 7 SP1 it's not required to install VC runtime, because it's already there. LO launches successfully if I refuse to install VC runtime. This dialog appears every time I launch LO apps and is very annoying. Please fix this long standing issue finally. Thank you.

It's coded to only ask if you run on Windows XP or earlier and then only if it can't find it using 5 different methods of location. Additionally, it's coded so that if you say No, it won't ask you again no matter what to account for the few people on XP that have an oddball VC++ runtime installed.
It seems the build process may have included the previous launcher version, though. Please try downloading this proper version of LibreOfficePortable.exe and replacing your existing one to confirm.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Thank you. This one works perfect for me.

This issue is properly fixed in LibreOffice Portable 3.6.1.1. Vista/7/8 users should no longer be prompted even if it can't find it in the standard location.
