Support a portable version #10

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
In general, a "portable" version isn't strictly possible because of the need to 
use a .DLL file for injecting the code into Steam that does the actual 
filtering. However, it should be possible to do something roughly morally 
equivalent to have the code, scripts and registry data unpacked in a folder, 
including storing inside replicated folders (a la Dropbox or Gladinet or what 
have you) to allow it for persistent shared configuration.

Note that as NSIS installers are valid 7-Zip archives (thanks to NSIS's use of 
LZMA compression), an unpacked-in-a-folder version should be quite possible. 
The main complexity of this is figuring out what should happen if a standalone 
version is run alongside a normally, fully-installed copy (possibly of a 
different version); issue #9 describes that.
