.zip version is not an install. It is the SAME VLC, but won't have registry extensions.

Executed Portable (zip) version, how do I create new Toolbar with Line 1 right of Line 2, and a vlc cache, is there a way to save settings to be used in next version. Is Haali Media Splitter useful for VLC.

Why is exe version much smaller than zip version.

Nope. VLC cannot use DirectShow or VfW filters.
