Portable release

Open 174n opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

It would be great to have portable release that just works without installing anything, searching for the right version of third party library and so on. I didn't get it working yet btw (I tried to use portable dokany). It just doesn't mount

I haven't heard of portable Dokany. Where did you get it?

I don't understand how portable Dokany would work. Dokany needs to install a kernel-mode driver that must be signed using a Windows kernel driver signing key, which are hard to obtain (you must be a fairly substantial company to get one).

I don't know Dokany could be made portable if it needs to install a kernel device driver.

I could make cppcryptfs work without Dokany and be portable, but it would have to present a file manager type interface and you could only copy files in and out. Maybe that could be done with as a Windows shell extension for file explorer, but I don't know if a shell extension would work.

I didn't get into details, but I thought if it's possible it would be great to have that
