Include portable version in normal installer

Post by n-regen »

Hi!
It would be great if you could include an option in the installer to extract Everything instead of installing it (like in the TrueCrypt installer), so one doesn't need to download two files to keep both the normal and the portable version files up to date.

Does the installer actually provide any function over the ZIP version?

(You can also manually extract many installers using UniExtract <Universal Extractor>.)

I just noticed that one actually can use the installer to create a portable version by disabling all shortcut-creating-checkboxes in the installer.

I like it the way it is now. Most programs that have a portable version do a ZIP file and have an installer for those who want to install it.
