Portable Installations

Located under the backstage menu, this command causes WeConfig to generated a portable replica of itself to the targeted file system, such as the local computer, or a USB drive. Once the portable replica has been generated in this way, it can be started as normal, or copied to a different destination (such as a different computer, in the case of a USB drive) and started there.

The primary use case of this functionality is to create WeConfig installations suitable for airgapped systems.

Portable installations do not offer short cut icons in the start menu - one must either start the application by double clicking the executable WeConfig.Application.exe or create shortcuts manually.

Limitations​

Certain functionalities of WeConfig are limited in portable mode due to it's airgapped nature, of particular note are the following:

  • Automatic or Manual firmware downloads should not be expected to work
  • Cloud firmware lists will not be up-to-date.
  • Device definitions and icons will not be up-to-date.
  • Licenses will not be automatically renewed.
