Trojitá probably meets this expectations. But I see problem.
I don't know whether Trojitá (0.6) may be portable software?
Could you be so kind and explain me this important question?
Dear Jacek,
yes, Trojita works just fine without being installed into some systemwide
place.
I'm assuming that you're on Windows. We are producing regular installers
for that platform, too, and these installers actually write into the
Windows registry. I've been told that this is a technical limitation of the
Windows' architecture where registry entries are required so that Trojita
is offered for uninstallation.
If you can grab the Trojita's setup.exe and extract its contents somwehere
(really, just anywhere), you've got a portable installation. I believe that
some popular archive hnalding tools support extraction of arbitrary NSIS
installers, but I don't really know, it's been ages since I used Windows
for the last time.
If you are a programmer and can build C++ software, there's no need to
install Trojita anywhere -- just run it from the build directory.
Cheers,
Jan
