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 air-gapped 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 air-gapped 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.
