Portable version for Windows?

Open krisu5 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Would it be possible to create portable version of Tauthy for Windows?

Benefits of the portable apps are that all the data would in the one folder and no need for software installations (handy for Windows reinstallations, that uninstalls all the 3rd party software).

Just releasing it as ZIP would be fine, imo.

It's possible but since this app is built with Tauri it has a dependency on Webview2 which is checked for / installed with the .msi installer. It will be shipped with Windows 11 in the future by default though so if we target Win11 users only we could do it. But there is also some limitations along with that like not being able to use Tauri's automatic updater. Also there is no guide yet on how to do it... So definitely interesting, will note it down for the future.
