Is a portable version of GUIX Studio available?

Question

I have developed a project using guix + guix-studio and would like to archive it. Is there an installer or portable version of guix studio that I can archive so I'm not stranded a few years down the line? As far as I can tell this is not possible with the microsoft store app.

Answer 1

@Ehsan As KenMaxwell mentioned, We are working to put the standalone installer on our Github repo page for those who are not able to use the App Store.
Meanwhile, If you are blocked you can use this installer guix_studio_setup_6.1.9.2_Dec_13_2021.exe

If you want to archive or transfer your existing version of GUIX studio after installing them from the Microsoft Store, the following steps helped me to do this:

• Start GUIX Studio application and open the Task-Manager
• In Task Manager switch to the Details tab, right click on any column header and click "Select columns". In the list activate the column "Image path name" and close.
• Search for process guix_studio.exe and see the path of the Image path name, it's something like "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.AzureRTOSGUIXStudio_6.2.0.0_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe\studiox\guix_studio.exe".
• Create a zip archive or copy the parent folder C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.AzureRTOSGUIXStudio_6.2.0.0_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe

For me it works fine- if I copy the folder/ zip archive to another computer and run the studiox\guix_studio.exe file there.
