Premise:
Posters frequently ask for a portable version of a certain software. Usually this is a common type of software that leaves settings or files in some part of the local PC if it is not modified.

John or one of the many frequent visitors to the forums might possibly see if that software can be modified and made portable or not.

Some guidelines:

Name of the program: Topogun 3
Website for the program: https://www.topogun.com/
Description: Software for retopology process of 3D models
License (GPL, etc)

I have already tried to create a portable distribution for the Topogun 3 program. It ran at home. But unfortunately it did not run at work.
But at the same time the portable program Substance Painter runs at work without any problems.
Here are the ini files from Launcher directory of these two applications for comparison.

1. Description

OutWiker is designed to store notes in a tree. Such programs are called "outliner", personal wiki, or tree-like editors. OutWiker's main difference from the other similar programs is keeping the tree of notes in the form of directories on disk, and encouraging changing the base by external sources and programs.

Also any number of files can be attached to the page. OutWiker can contain pages of different types, currently supports three types of pages: plain text, HTML pages and wiki pages. You can add Markdown page support with Markdown plug-in.

(description from author's website)
yWriter is a word processor which breaks your novel into chapters and scenes, helping you keep track of your work while leaving your mind free to create. It will not write your novel for you, suggest plot ideas or perform creative tasks of any kind. yWriter was designed by an author, not a salesman!
