Can I copy the Honorbuddy folder that's on my computer's hard drive to a USB drive and use that USB drive to launch Honorbuddy on another computer?
Is Honorbuddy Portable?

One of the only things that's typically saved outside of the Honorbuddy folder is your Mesh data.
So copying it onto a USB stick and running it on several computers would be fine, however you may want to change your Mesh folder location to the USB stick as well.
The Mesh data is what Honorbuddy uses to calculate a navigation path.
So if you run Honorbuddy on a computer that has never ran Honorbuddy before - your character may stand still for a few minutes while Honorbuddy downloads the Mesh files.
Having the Mesh saved to the USB as well will prevent it from constantly having to download the Mesh files, and it will keep the bot more fluid.
But then again, that really depends on how many computers you plan using the USB on, if it's just a few computers, then it probably wouldn't be much of an issue.
By default, the Mesh files are downloaded here:

EchoTiger is pretty accurate but......
HB relies on the use of .net redistributable libraries. (VCREDIST). Those need to be installed on any PC you want to run it on and they don't come standard with all Windows versions.
You might put the dependency wizard on the USB stick as well and make sure you run this. Find it here: https://www.thebuddyforum.com/honor...t-try-buddy-dependency-wizard.html#post704565

Honorbuddy uses Netframes 4.5 and C++ Redistribute 2010(x86) specifically. There's tons of versions of all this, and people often download the wrong ones.
Just searching .NET redistribute libraries and VCREDIST wouldn't point to the correct dependencies so I'd adivse using the BuddyWizard as well.
Of course this would only be an issue on computers running Windows 7 or older as Windows 8/8.1/10 is shipped with both 4.5 and C++2010 which is probably why Echo didn't mention it.
But yes, all-and-all Honorbuddy is portable.
The only thing aside from dependencies you'd have to worry about is the Mesh constantly having to download as Echo pointed out.
