It is possible to start a Ventuz presentation without having installed Ventuz on the target computer.
All you need is a USB stick (if the presentation contains Ventuz Professional features, you need the Ventuz USB dongle) and another computer with a Ventuz installation.

You have to copy all files from the Ventuz installation to the USB stick.  You can copy it directly on the USB or to a dedicated folder. Copy also your VPR file to the USB stick. In the next step you have to create a shortcut to the VentuzPresenter.exe on the USB stick. This shortcut must reside on the USB stick as well. Open the Properties dialog of the new shortcut file. In the Target field of the Shortcut tab you will find anything like: I:\VENTUZ\VentuzPresenter.exe. You have to extend this to e.g.: I:\VENTUZ\VentuzPresenter.exe “My Presentation.vpr”. Press the OK button. That’s all!

If you now double-click the shortcut, your Ventuz presentation will start. There are certainly some constraints: the computer which has to start the presentation from the USB stick needs to have DirectX 9c and .Net 3.5 SP1 installed. And the security settings must allow an application to start from USB.
