Better Mobile Installation Support

[AurumSage]

There is one problem that is keeping me from using Rainmeter at its full potential and that is the lack of needed files that do not come in the mobile installation option. These files are the Visual Basic C++ DLLs that need to be installed seperately when doing this installation. I have downloaded all the DLLs multiple times from multiple sites but none work properly with the program (these include the MSVCR100.dll, MSVCP100.dll, etc.). If you could include these DLLs in the upcoming beta installation it help tremendously for those of who want this program available to them no matter what computer we're at.

Thanks,
AurumSage

I'll look into this for 2.3 (beta) for the Visual C++ 2010 SP1 libraries.

Note that some Rainmeter plugins (mostly 3rd party) require the presence of the .NET framework. I doubt that .NET can be installed in a portable manner (although I am not sure of this).

Poiru,

There is no way to do a "portable" .net installation that I know of.

However, I do believe there are libraries (Portable.Net) that you can compile with that will make the plugins portable in and of themselves.
