Trying to make a portable version of NoMachine Enterprise Client

[molokovskikh]

Hi everybody!

I have bug when trying to make portable version from installed files (see attached, link removed).

Her sense matter in time open dialog settings. This just not occur.

I took help from nxplayer –help and saw this option:

 

NXPLAYER – Version 5.2.21

Usage: nxplayer [OPTIONS]

–config FILENAME | DIRECTORY

Run nxplayer reading global configuration settings from the file

FILENAME. FILENAME can either be an absolute or relative path.

Hmm, I thought that this is what you need for portable nx.

But when I built all necessary… I faced with this trouble (see above)

I.e. I can’t  seeing settings dialog. Something occurred wrong…

Somebody confronted with similar things?

P.S.: Tested OS Windows 7 Prof 64x (also Windows 7 Starter 32x)

Please can you send the file to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com, or attach it here if it’s not too big? Also, what you mean when you write:

start.cfg is just template for player.cfg

Content of ng.cmd is:

@echo off

set RUN_NX_PATH=%~dp0

set RUN_NX_PATH=%RUN_NX_PATH:~0,-1%

if not exist %RUN_NX_PATH%\.nx mkdir %RUN_NX_PATH%\.nx

if not exist %RUN_NX_PATH%\.nx\config mkdir %RUN_NX_PATH%\.nx\config

if not exist %RUN_NX_PATH%\Documents mkdir %RUN_NX_PATH%\Documents

if not exist %RUN_NX_PATH%\Documents\NoMachine mkdir %RUN_NX_PATH%\Documents\NoMachine

 

if exist DEL %RUN_NX_PATH%\.nx\config\player.cfg

setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion

For /f “tokens=* delims= ” %%a in (start.cfg) do (

Set str=%%a

set str=!str:RUN_NX_PATH=%RUN_NX_PATH%!

echo !str!>>%RUN_NX_PATH%\.nx\config\player.cfg

)

ENDLOCAL

bin\nxplayer –config %RUN_NX_PATH%\.nx\config\player.cfg

 

So, I want to run nx.cmd on removable flash-disk and enjoy prepared portable version without install.

But a feel that something wrong, or maybe I want а lot

Hi. If I’ve understood correctly the problem you’re reproducing, it should be due to the “Personal NX dir” using a relative path. Try to generate the new CFG by setting the “Personal NX dir” to an absolute path pointing to the .nx folder on the portable device.
You can share your new CMD script by sending it to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com, so I can test it if you’ve more troubles.

PS: I’d strongly suggest to ship images with your portable client, without them the interface is quite… ugly. 😀

It’s wonderful idea, in respect that on each time absolute path to device will be different on some machine. I did do that already… Problem not solved.

And also I faced with corrupted font by windows. But it other song. Although it may be…

Did you do it in a new startup script? Because the one I’ve used yesterday was still not setting correctly the path, although it was doing it correctly for the System NX directory.
