Is there a portable version of KomodoEdit?

I hate installing tools by *.msi installers.

Instead I prefer urgently a *.zip package which can simply be extraced and
the tool runs out of the box (e.g. from USB flash drive).

This type of portable package offers e,g. the famous Notepad++ editor

Does KomodoEdit offer something similar?

If not: Can this portable zip version be offer with the next release?

Ok, thank you. But this manually fiddling around to get Komodo portable ist
annoying and not user friendly.

Why not introducing a real out-of-the box portable Komodo-Edit?

Thousands of other program offer this. So Komodo should be able to do this as well.

We may consider it in the future, thank you for your suggestion !

Please do it, It would be great !

Not 100% sure why you would be adverse to using msi installers exactly but you have the option to use the msiexec directly in CMD.

msiexec /qb /a path\to\installer.msi TARGETDIR=C:\path\to\install\directory

Note that when using that method, if you try to install into a protected folder you must start CMD with admin permissions.

No idea if this is information you’re interested in but can’t hurt :slight_smile:
