How start without installer ?
Hello, I have been using the program for a long time, I like it. Is it possible to somehow make the program work without installation? I have files in the folder after installation, I copied them to another computer, but there is no option for integration into the system, such as in the 7zip archiver This archiver has an integration button into the context menu and this makes the program portable.
This has been requested before: #157
However, I am still not sure what the use case for it is. I understand that it's interesting to export your settings to a file and import them on another computer. This is possible currently, but is cumbersome, so that could be made better. But what is fundamentally different between running an installer to install for the current user only and copying the files and then selecting an option to register the context menu? I understand that many people are used to copying files by hand, but when you think about it, why is that better?
It's just convenient. I take my folder in programs that do not require installation and just work with them on another machine, I know that I don’t need to install anything and configure anything again
on the other hand, in Windows 10 (compared to 7) there are many problems with adding such programs to startup with administrator rights, this is a big unpleasant adventure.
I second this. It's all about admin rights which I don't have on my work computer. If there was a command line way to install it, or a script, I could run that on login to Windows.

Normally, if you don't have admin rights, you should be able to install "for current user only". This installs the program in your user folder. Did you try it?
