Run UT2004 Without Registry Entries/Portable

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

Is there any way to get UT2004 to run without it's registry entries? If you put the old UT's file directory on a thumb drive, it's 'plug and play', but UT2004 won't run unless you install it's registry entries. It doesn't really have much:

Code: 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Unreal Technology]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Unreal Technology\Installed Apps]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Unreal Technology\Installed Apps\UT2004]
[B]"CDKey"="XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX"[/B]
"ADMIN_RIGHTS"="You need to run this program as an administrator, not as a guest or limited user account."
"Folder"="D:\\Program Files (x86)\\Unreal Anthology\\UT2004"
"NO_DISC"="No disc in drive.  Please insert the disc labeled 'Unreal Tournament 2004 Play Disc' to continue."
"NO_DRIVE"="No CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive detected."
"TITLEBAR"="Unreal Tournament 2004"
"Version"="1"
"WRONG_DISC"="Wrong disc in drive.  Please insert the disc labeled 'Unreal Tournament 2004 Play Disc' to continue."
"YEAR"="2004"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Unreal Anthology]
"I_UT2004"="D:\\Program Files (x86)\\Unreal Anthology"

And the bold CD key line is actually the only one it needs.

Is there any way around this?

Theoretically, it's possible by implementing similar launcher various portable applications use that normally depend on several registry entries and other dependencies.
