I could have multiple versions of Mono installed, but there will only
be one default CLR.
I'm not sure about the latest versions.

I've been poking around on my Windows PC and I'm curious whether
or not Mono needs to the Windows registry keys to run or it can be
run from a registry-less environment - e.g. from an installation
on an external hard drive, iPod, flash drive, etc.
Admittedly, I haven't removed the registry keys to find out, and I
was hoping someone would be able to shed some light on the issue.
Thanks,

To add to what Daniel correctly pointed out, there is still a benefit
for the third party tools and systems to look at the registry entries
that the installer creates to aid them in determining the default CLR
and/or the version information. I am pretty sure that Novell will keep
the registry conventions to avoid breaking consuming systems like NAnt
and MonoLaunch. However, the Mono Combined Installer for Windows runs
without any knowledge or need of registry entries itself.
Hope this helps a little.
