Newbie David here.  I installed the portable version 3.3.7367 onto a flash drive.  I created a shortcut on my desktop.  When I click on the exe file on the flash drive it opens right up however when I click on the desktop shortcut it keeps wanting to reinstall the program!  This is the way I handle all other portable software I use and never have any issues.   
I must say this is the best music organizer I've seen.  All my artwork looks great and there are so many ways to display my collection!
I have JRiver MC 26 and it is such a pain!!!

Any help is appreciated! Tks, DN

Is it possible you accidentally made a shortcut to the installer .exe instead of the installed program?
