Portable Software for Windows instead of .MSI installer

[spirited1086]

Wondering if this would be possible. Purpose of doing this is to allow multiple version/configurations, it's temporary hack to have multiple languages and be able to switch between them. The MSI installer allows only one instance of the program which means manually selecting and reconfiguring the program every time I want to switch languages.

It wouldn't actually allow this (not any easier than just implementing changing configurations directly). The configuration is not stored in the program. It is stored in the user settings folder (%APPDATA% for Windows). You also don't lose the settings when reinstalling.

Another option then would be replacing the config files based on the language. I tried to look in %APPDATA% and found nothing. There's files under "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\FreeLanguageTools\VocabSieve" but no similar structure or config in the Roaming (%APPDATA%) folder.

Just found out where the configuration is stored. Unfortunately, it's not a plain-text file in windows. It's in the registry.

Something like...
Computer\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-............................................................................................\Software\FreeLanguageTools\VocabSieve
