+ Toolbox # This is where installation folder is located And this is where it becomes interesting, let me explain. This was until I realized that we can change "Tool install location" setting to another folder than %AppDataLocal%\JetBrains\Toolbox. This solution is the best but it would probably require time to implement and ZIP download too.Īs I say, the Toolbox app is a wonderful software but portability is missing, and I think this could profit to a lot of people.Įdit : I've made a feature request on YouTrack, please upvote, thanks :) Visual Studio Code already have this type of system for portable distribution, see here.

Having a "hidden" option where when you create for example a "data" folder next to the executable, it automatically stores all of the data inside like if this folder was %AppDataLocal%\JetBrains\Toolbox.

Using a sandbox solution, like having a portable instance of Sandboxie and running the Toolbox inside, but this is a heavy and unpractical solution.

Redirects %AppDataLocal%\JetBrains\Toolbox to another folder next to the executable using folders junctions (MKLINK), but this would work on a limited amount of computers, since in each new computer you plug you USB key, for example, you would have to make a program that creates those symbolic links before launching the toolbox.

\apps but those two causes errors.Īll of these problems prevents users to use the toolbox app as a portable solution.Īfter this unsuccessful experience, I thought about some solutions :

You cannot use relatives paths in the "Tools install location" setting, I tried using for example \apps but it uses C:\apps, I also tried %~dp0\apps and.

Toolbox stores data in %AppDataLocal%\JetBrains\Toolbox.

Toolbox keeps wanting to update it-self because it's not in the %AppDataLocal%\JetBrains\Toolbox folder (probably).

I conclude I could try myself, so I extracted the content of the setup using 7-Zip and I fire up a clean Windows 7 VM, then I imported the extracted content into the VM and started the Toolbox.

Not finding one, I contacted the support to know if a ZIP download was available or if I could use the installation folder. So I started searching for a portable version of the toolbox, a premade one or even a ZIP download. Me, while setting up a portable development environment using IntelliJ, Rider, P圜harm and the dotUltimate pack (dotPeek, dotMemory, dotTrace, dotCover) thought it would be a great idea to use the toolbox app to manage all of those. I discovered that this was an amazing tool to automatically authenticate you, update the products and license them using your account. I recently started using JetBrains' products, and a bit later, the Toolbox app.
