Suggestion: Provide Windows/all portable installs as ZIP #82

Open canuckkat opened 4 years ago

canuckkat commented 4 years ago

Request Provide Windows/all portable installs as ZIP. It's much simpler to just extract into the existing folder instead of running the .exe. Especially in Window with the UAC. I haven't been able to get it to extract or run in Win10 (unless it did but there was no end-user feedback).

Solution Please provide as ZIP or 7z file for a portable install.

Current Workaround I'm currently opening it in 7zip to extract the files into my existing folder.

You get a notification that the app isn't safe to run and you have to press a small link in the text at the top of the window - then a button "RUN" will appear on the bottom.

If the executable would be archived it wouldn't change anything - you would still get the Windows security notifications after extracting it.
