once for your computer, activating shortcut creation,
and again for your usb key or external hard drive.
Since it does not store anything in the registry subsequent installs won't affect the previous ones (except shortcut creation)

Customizable frontpage menu color theme, JuceVLC can be (almost) purple-free
The "space-key" allows your relatives to play/pause your video if they want to interrupt your watching session;-)
