Title: Portable version of CADTools
Post by: bearsh2012 on August 03, 2026, 04:33:39 AM

I was wondering if there is any possibility to obtain a portable version of CADtools for my workflow.
All thel MSI installers require administrator privileges to execute, which I cannot get on the workstations I regularly use.

Hi,

Unfortunately, portable programs usually do not work without administrative rights either. I have previously released portable versions of CadTools, but I have been told that they often failed to work.

Thanks for the quick reply and appreciate the tools you provide which has helped me a lot. I wonder if there's any possibility that I could get even the old portable pack. 8)

Unfortunately, that is not possible. Due to their structure and behavior, portable versions are often flagged as viruses.

Noted with thanks. I will try to find another approach.
