You need Node to do anything. Instructions on how-to run portable Node and then portable Visual Code might be helpful. I created my own version of portable Visual Code that has a version of Node bundled with it. I use a batch file that sets up Node dir in path before it call portable Visual Code.

Node is not required to run Visual Studio Code.

Bear in mind a lot of people use VSCode to write a host of supported languages...

Gareth,

Thanks for the response and for your contributions to portable apps.

I'm using it for JavaScript, C++ and XML.

If I want to run a linter on any of these languages...

I need Node right?

You need Node.js installed and available in your $PATH to run an extension.

So Node.js is NOT required to run Visual Code... You only NEED Node.js if you want to run ANY extension.
