Hello o7
I tried to create an exe from a compose project today. Is it possible to not have an installer for the windows .exe TargetFormat? Like just a runnable without it being installed somewhere?

[Igor Demin]

gradlew createDistributable will create a folder with a runnable exe (build/compose/binaries/main/app)

[Amejonah 1200]

but that .exe isn't portable, is it? Like it needs the files in the app and runtime folder?

Until now it's not built-in https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/issues/1272

It's possible using third party tools that create exe, like launch4j

It has a Gradle plugin
