Full Changelog: 1.0.0...1.1.0

Released at: 2022-05-30

• add a way to force extraction of files from update-zip even when some files are already available
• add better version reporting

v1.0.0 - portable-vscode-updater.exe

This is the first release of this small side project.
I wanted to automate downloading the newest vscode zip and replacing nearly all files,
but leaving the user data intact.

Usage

For Updating

• Download the portable-vscode-updater.exe into your unziped vscode installation
• Run it.

It will download the newest vscode version as a zip
and will unpack it over the old installation.

For First Installation

It will also work for getting a completely fresh install of portable-vscode.
Simply run it in an empty folder and enjoy!

IMPORTANT NOTES

• This binary assumes to be started inside an extracted vscode installation!
• This binary does not ask for permissions or anything currently, so make a backup of your vscode folder before updating to be save!
• This binary does only work on WINDOWS currently!

Future Plan

• If needed, this script will be extended to work similar to the full nvm (Node Version Manager), but for now, this is what I need.
