标题: Ask for a Portable version of Visual Studio 2017 Software. [打印本页] 作者Author: aitouna 时间: 2021-1-8 03:13 标题: Ask for a Portable version of Visual Studio 2017 Software. Hello Dears, I have a special request, and I hope you can respond to it. My request is about a portable version of Visual Studio 2017 that used in the tutorial of compiling of Multiwfn and Gromacs softwares. I would be grateful to you if you could consider my request.
If someone succeeded in using the Visual Studio 2017 like the great ProfessorTian LU in the tutorials, I hope he can create a portable version of the software and share it with us.

Visual Studio Community 2017 is freely available, you should be able to find download link from internet by Google. I haven't heard of portable version.作者Author: snljty 时间: 2021-1-8 09:08
If you mean "a version that only need to be downloaded once, and no further nerwork connection is required", I used to make a mirror, but the full version was about 60 GB and it toom too much storage so I finally deleted it.作者Author: aitouna 时间: 2021-1-8 09:34

A portable software means you can run the software without actually installing the software. Portable programs can be launched from USB storage devices as well as internal drives.
We can easily create a portable version of any software already installed in our machine with simple mouse clicks using programs like the free one called Cameyo.作者Author: liuyuje714 时间: 2021-1-8 09:47
I saw your question in another blog post, now that you have installed VS2019 why want to install vs2017 again?

Visual C++ compiler is not portable. Lots of components should be installed via an official installer. You cannot just copy it from another computer and extract it for use.
On the contrary, the Gnu Compiler Collection (GCC), is absolutely portable. Try its implementation on Windows, e.g. MinGW or the modern MinGW-w64.作者Author: zjxitcc 时间: 2021-1-8 10:45 本帖最后由 zjxitcc 于 2021-1-8 10:48 编辑
A portable version means (almost) library-independent. This is not practical for Visual Studio since it contains too many components. Even if you did that, the package is probably huge. Also this is meaningless (since Visual Studio Community is free of charge).
