Auto-updating is non-trivial task - but I will investigate.

In the meantime I've released v1.14.2.

[alekk84]

how about v1.17?

[RoyiAvital]

Version 1.20.1 is out.

By the way, is there a reason why I can't disable Git Integration with this version?
I copied all needed settings to my settings as described here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30331338.
Yet each time I launch the program it searches for Git and notifies it can't be found.

I'm using the latest current version (1.19.2).

Thank You.

@garethflowers ,
When you use the Online Download Installer why won't it download the latest version and that's it?
Are those version different one from each other in a way the Portable System doesn't work?

[garethflowers]

Having a separate installer that always downloads the latest version is probably a good move. Let me check it out.

@RoyiAvital give this release a try.

[RoyiAvital]

I will give it a try.
What's needed is someone watching they don't change what they write on Registry, locations of files, etc... on newer version so it stays Portable.

By the way, do you change all system variables before launching or do you use Copy on exit (I hope I understand correctly how PortableApps work)?

Hi,
Do you use the --user-data-dir and --extension-dir launcher properties?

See here - microsoft/vscode#329 (comment).

[garethflowers]

Yes - we pass both as command line arguments to the code executable.

vscode-portable/VSCodePortable/App/AppInfo/Launcher/VSCodePortable.ini

Line 4 in 5ee8074

CommandLineArguments='--user-data-dir="%PAL:DataDir%\code" --extensionHomePath="%PAL:DataDir%\code\extensions"'

[garethflowers]

Just noticed it looks we are using the wrong argument for the extensions though. I'll get that sorted.
