Done. The folder is called Quick Install <https://sourceforge.net/projects/leo/files/Leo/Quick%20Install/>. It contains leo.exe, Leo.zip and Readme-quick-install.TXT, whose contents is: Readme-quick-install.TXT This document describes two ways of running Leo without having to install *anything* else. Method 1. (Folder-based, Recommended) Download the Leo folder, unpack it *anywhere* you like, and run leo.exe from within the unpacked folder. Method 2. (Single-file, Easiest): Download leo.exe and execute it *anywhere* by double-clicking on it. There are two disadvantages to using the single-file method: 1. Before Leo starts, PyInstaller unpacks all libraries and data files to a temp folder: ~\AppData\Local\Temp\_MEInnn. As a result, starting leo.exe is slower than usual. 2. *Warning*: You can open Leo files from the "Files:Open Leo File" menu, but these files exist *only* in the temp folder. They will be *destroyed* when you exit leo.exe. If you want to do real work with Leo you must create .leo files in a permanent folder on your machine. Both the folder-based and single-file version were created by PyInstaller: http://pythonhosted.org/PyInstaller. Both leo.exe and Leo.zip work as expected on Windows. Please report any problems immediately. I plan to add similar files for Linux when I return home.
