Provide Windows portable version

[copdips]

Hello,

I really like licecap, but when I'm at office, I'm not admin on my desktop, so could you please provide the portable version of licecap ?

Thx.

Hi @codlips there is no need for a portable version. Just try to install it in a folder where you have write access. Like your desktop or your username's MyDocuments (if you are on Windows platform).

Hope it works! Cheers.

Hello @victorwestmann,

The installer publisher is unknown, so right after double clicking on the installer .exe file, it demandes admin account to bypass the publisher warning.

I managed to get it worked by simply unzip the exe file, and got the licecap.exe directlty.

maybe also provide a zip version ?

Unzipping the installer .exe worked for me. This is incredible. Thanks!

Just unzip the exe

This works on Windows with Python:

# importing libraries
import os
import cv2
import sys

# need to copy d:\tools\openh264\openh264-1.8.0-win64.dll into current directory

# Video Generating function
def generate_video():
    image_folder = '.'
    video_name = 'video.mp4'
    video_writer = None
    width = None
    height = None
    fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'H264')

    # Appending the images to the video one by one
    index = 154
    while True:
        name = "image{}.png".format(index)
        index += 1
        filename = os.path.join(image_folder, name)
        if os.path.isfile(filename):
            print("loading {}".format(filename))
            frame = cv2.imread(filename)
            h, w, _ = frame.shape
            if video_writer is None:
                width = w
                height = h
                video_writer = cv2.VideoWriter(video_name, fourcc, 1, (width, height))
            elif width != w:
                print("video width changed from {} to {}".format(width, w))
                return
            elif height != h:
                print("video height changed from {} to {}".format(height, h))
                return

            video_writer.write(frame)
        else:
            print("no file found {}".format(filename))
            break

    video.release()  # releasing the video generated


# Calling the generate_video function
generate_video()

Nevermind, it works with 7-zip.

Trying to unzip version 1.28 fails for me using unzip.exe:

Archive:  licecap128-install.exe
  End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
note:  licecap128-install.exe may be a plain executable, not an archive
unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in licecap128-install.exe,
        and cannot find licecap128-install.exe.zip, period.

Using powershell's Expand-Archive is not accepting .exe but renaming to .zip gives essentially the same error msg:

Expand-Archive -Force .\licecap128-install.zip \licecap
New-Object : Exception calling ".ctor" with "3" argument(s): "End of Central Directory record could not be found."
