Portable Version? #355

Open PwrSrg opened 2 years ago

PwrSrg commented 2 years ago

Is there a PORTABLE version?

This looks pretty nice, but a LOT of us don't have install privileges, and run our small utilities like this directly from a thumb drive. When at the client, the developers never know what workstation we will get that day, so personal thumb drives are the only solution.

I originally thought the ZIP file was it, but there is nothing usable in there.

Thanks!

At the moment, there's no such thing.

It should be possible to create a "sort of" portable version which only requires that a .NET Framework is installed (which should be the case on most windows computers). edit I'll try to add such a version with the next release.

A truly portable version (no external requirements) will be possible once the work for https://github.com/Kittyfisto/Tailviewer/issues/186 is completed, but I can't offer an ETA for that unfortuately.

@PwrSrg I've added a "portable" version to the latest release. Feel free to report back if it works / doesn't work for you.

Nontheless, I'll keep this enhancement open until the truly portable version is available.

@Kittyfisto - Wow, thanks! That was FAST! Testing it out now. 👍🏼
