[LibreOffice web site](https://www.libreoffice.org/download/portable-versions/) says about LibreOffice portable, that can run without the PortableApps platform.
> LibreOffice Portable ... It is packaged in PortableApps.com format so it can work with the PortableApps.com platform
> and its automatic updater and app store, **work with other portable menus, or work by itself from a USB**, cloud or local drive.
I thought that the portable apps launcher, is a need because aplications write some keys to windows registry and retrieve files from the user directory (X:\users\\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\), and using it from any storage device whose drive letter can change in every other moment, is a potential problem.
I ask, It is true? Is the Document Foundation, misleading its users to believe that the LibreOffice portable can be launch without a portable launcher? And specifically, with portableapps.com launcher?

Like all our apps, LibreOffice Portable can run without the PortableApps.com Platform. The platform does help you more easily download, install, upgrade, uninstaller, backup, and otherwise manage all your apps, but you can also use LibreOffice Portable directly by running LibreOfficePortable.exe from Windows Explorer or a third party menu.
The LibreOffice Portable launcher is called LibreOfficePortable.exe and is required to run LibreOffice portably. That's what handles keeping your settings portable. Sometimes people refer to menus like the PortableApps.com Platform as a "launcher", but when I say that the launcher is required to run LibreOffice Portable portably, I'm referring to the PortableApps.com Launcher file called LibreOfficePortable.exe included with LibreOffice Portable.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
