iap Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) Hi, I've made a portable release from an installation of 0 A.D. I then uninstalled and tried it, while keeping track of unwanted files.The game does not leave traces, from what I've seen, except for when it is crashed, and then running it again will delete the unwanted files.I couldn't make it save games and changes, witch is not a very good thing, but hey, this is my first attempt to make a portable software.I used Cameyo for this, that is why the logo appear in the beginning,If someone know about a better virtualization program, I would be happy to know.EDIT: darn, I was trying to attach it, but it didn't get it.

Mythos_Ruler Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 How big is it? Perhaps Mediafire or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong about that though, since I've never tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to upload it again (as attachment) and failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now to make a portable package is just adding an option to your installer, to put all in one place (without "uninstall" in the registry, and without start menu) and create a batch file with this option.Will you be able to do it for the next alpha?(and I'm sorry for the delay) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonarpulse Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 7 zip or winrar should be able to extract files from a windows installer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
