I have an application which based on git electron. (For windows)
I need this app to be portable on USB disk and also I want this app to have auto-update feature.
Grunt-electron-installer uses squirrel.windows for update mechanism. Squirrel uses SHGetFolderPath function with CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA to decide installation path which is normally C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\$pkgName.
My question is;
- Is there a better way to use as auto-update feature for portable electron apps?
- I could use Enigma virtual box as a virtual system to overcome squirrel.windows path problem. In this option I need a way to change CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA variable in virtual system. Any idea?
Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you
