Portable version on website still 2.25.1.0 #198

Closed JohnLGalt closed 1 year ago

Hi, there,

Just a couple of quick questions:

  1. Does it usually take a few days for the portable version to propagate to the website?
  2. Would you consider adding the portable version here to this repo?

I apologize if this was already covered, but I searched the Issues list for portable and only found 3 closed issues, none dealing with availability.

Hi @JohnLGalt,

the portable and regular versions of Zero Install use the same update mechanism, so new versions become available at the same time.

You are probably referring to zero-install.exe, which is missing in Release 2.15.2. Please note that this is only the Bootstrapper, which is usually but not always updated together with Zero Install itself.

You can always get the latest available version of the Bootstrapper (2.15.1 at the moment) from https://get.0install.net/zero-install.exe. Running this will automatically download and run the latest available version of Zero Install (2.15.2 at the moment).

All this is independent from the Portable Mode, which allows you to configure Zero Install to put all its files in a single directory, e.g., for use on a USB thumb drive.

Hope this helps.

Regards Bastian

Ahh, yes, I grab the .ZIP version, and it has only the three files, and the executable still shows at 2.25.1.0.

Thanks for the explanation, and sorry for the misunderstanding.
