Is a Portable version of Etcher for Windows still available?

Hi, I’ve been very happy with balenaEtcher-Portable-1.18.11. I looked for updates for Windows and I no longer see a Portable version.
Is it available somewhere other than the download page?
Should I use the installer and just rename the executable? (I’ve seen that somewhere.)
Thank you, pfloyd

Hi Marc, Windows 10 Pro.

I wanted to adress the same question. Why Balena portable isn t available

6

I don’t see it. Should it be at https://etcher.balena.io/#download-etcher?

Or is there another official website?

Release a portable version already. Why isn’t this being done anymore?

made an account just to post this. ran into the same trouble looking for the portable version. hit up the github releases page Releases · balena-io/etcher · GitHub (might have to hit the little drop down arrow on “Assets”) and download the latest balenaEtcher-win32-x64-XXXXX.zip file if youre looking for the portable version.

You can download portable version but it is 481MB instead ~140MB, and not in one file but in 77.
Does anyone knows why it is like that? Any solution for one file? Or what for is etcher-util.exe in resources folder?
