Topic: [REQUESTS] Minimal Electrum builds for Windows - page 23. (Read 47201 times)
i dont think it escalates to admin but it doesnt support proxies
Is it a kind of 'portable apps' thing? I can't install stuff on the desktop here but can execute pretty much everything else that does not need admin privileges. also proxy uname/pwd I have to provide for apps that try to go online.
Could you confirm/deny usability or is testing needed?
thanks
p.s. In 10 or so hrs I'll probably give it a try at home anyway. just curious : )

Nice
Wow, that was quick!
It works great with -w parameter! And no need for console window, thank you.
Hope you'll continue to create binaries for future official electrum releases.

OK, here's my latest Windows build (with today's updates in!), compatible with XP, and with -w support:
http://dre.tx0.org/electrum042.exe

Thanks for your feedback!
There's no support for -w at this time due to the way I am packaging it,
but I might be able to fix that (perhaps later today!)

Hey, thanks!
Is there a way to change wallet path with "-w" parameter?
I'd like to have a portable solution with electrum.dat and electrum.exe in the same folder.
Works great with default wallet path!

Thank flatfly! 
I'll try it at home.

nvm I completely misread your OP, I apologize.
I've been busy packaging a very compact and stable Cameyo-based build of the Electrum thin client! Then I went a step further and removed ALL non-required Python modules and repackaged the rest using high compression.
Also, the following features cannot be found in other existing Electrum builds for Windows:
- full command-line support
- no installation needed: just download and run!
- highly optimized size and reduced attack surface: a huge number of unneeded executable files are excluded to achieve a lean and robust build
- includes the latest Python runtime security updates
- no need to pre-install Python, PyQt, ecdsa, or anything else: It's all in there,
- each build is pre-scanned by VirusTotal
- hi-res icons
- no flickering at startup
- no admin privileges needed
- can work as a fully portable app (support for -w switch!)
- I also do a quick manual audit of the code changes that go into each new build
Get the latest Windows stand-alone build (built straight from the Electrum source tree on GitHub) from my website:
EXE and SHA1: http://dre.natverk.org/elecwin.htm
The resulting standalone executable is just 5.9MB.
Compare with the default Cameyo 40-45MB bloated packages!!
Please let me know if any packaging-related quirks.
If there's enough interest, I can provide Win32 builds on a regular basis. Just a way of contributing to the community.
PS:
Why should you trust me? Well you don't have to. The full Python source code for each release can be examined in the %AppData%\Electrum_SysFiles directory and compared (using diff) with the official Electrum source tree for verification. The only changes I make are GUI-related, to give the app a more polished feel on Windows.
