What is the problem

Currently, if I want to use qBittorrent in portable mode, I have to use the GUI installer. I want to just download a .zip/.7z archive, extract it to a directory and run the qBittorrent.exe binary. From looking at the NSIS installer script, it seems that it registers file associations and uninstaller, none of which I want for a portable version.

Hi @sledgehammer999, are there plans to do this ?

@supply9243 Yes, you can unpack the installer with 7zip, but most users do not know that and you need to create the profile dir manually. Given that creating a .zip release should be very easy to do, I'd still prefer it over unpacking the NSIS installer.
