Feature request : release in self contained archive without installer (executable) #67

Migow50 commented 10 months ago

hello , is it possible to release software executable in self contained archive without installer i would like a lot thanks my regards

iquercorb commented 10 months ago

I can provide a kind of "portable" version, with required stuff in an archive file, but not a "self-contained" archive since OMM need some extra DLLs near executable to run. You can create this "portable" version yourself from the installed files, why exactly do you want that ?

Migow50 commented 10 months ago

yes i mean a portable version i prefer to avoid installer in general thx if you can :) for some reason i can't access the installer archive unlike some installer i wonder why

iquercorb commented 10 months ago

The "problem" (not an big one) is that the "portable" version will still use user's AppData folder to store its configuration...

Migow50 commented 10 months ago

it is "ok" :) also on another subject do you plan on adding ability to compile on VC++ ?

iquercorb commented 10 months ago

No plan for VC++, anyway it should compile on any compiler, the problem is IDE project integration...

I added portables versions in the release assets https://github.com/sedenion/OpenModMan/releases/tag/1.2.4
