dev tools on a usb drive
« on: December 29, 2008, 03:08:57 PM »

Hello, muties.

Anyone tried to install the dev tools on a USB drive?

@Mnemonic
Does it work?

Mind you that this is only a curiosity. If it doesn't work, it doesn't have to be a feature  ;D

I don't know. The tools require some stuff in the registry. As long as it's there, you can run them from wherever you want.

I've done that a bunch of times; when you're on a computer you haven't used before, you just have to tell WME where all the different tools are.

After that, though, it's really easy. Only trouble I ever had with it was when one computer wouldn't recognize the script editor to open scripts. But that was one computer.

Heck, I got it to run off a USB drive on a Mac once using CrossOver... didn't work very well, but enough to let people play my test version on Macs.

Yes Tal, looks like it.

I believe that's because the file extensions (like .scene) are not set to open in any application.

As for running the project, the project manager asks for the wme_D3D9.exe once and then loads without a problem. Just need to check if it runs without the c++ runtime.

Thanks guys  ::rock

The C++ Runtime is needed for the .NET based tools (WindowEdit, Debug console, String Table Manager).
