Everything you are posting that is not portable is from a script or addon.

Gotcha .. I follow up, separately.

Here's something that isn't from a script or add-on: The portable installation works, just fine.
I changed MediaMonkey.ini to point to my old MM.DB with DBName= under [System], and I didn't have to specify the drive letter.

BUT, I tried copying the new MediaMonkey.INI into that same location, and using the /INIFILE command-line option.
That worked, in so far as the db and settings were found and used, but using /INIFILE caused the Windows registry to be used.
I changed nothing there, just moved the .INI and then pointed to it, and the reg-key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MediaMonkey] got fully populated.
I've been through it about a dozen times now, deleting the reg-key in between.

The only time that having /INIFILE on the command line didn't cause this was when I ran a test pointing to a non-existant .INI.
MM found the standard .ini (in the standard location) and used it, and didn't populate the registry.

In all other cases, using the/INIFILE parameter causes the portable-MM to write to the registry.

OK I added it in http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=12739 so that we can see how to implement it.
