Standalone EXE for offline installation
Get a standalone EXE file that can be installed 100% offline, which is especially useful for devices disconnected from the network.
When generating the EXE, you have the option to activate the Asset Management (offline) option. By including all assets, your application in EXE format can be installed without an internet connection. Without this option, the application needs a network connection the first time it opens. It can then reopen offline with the content it has already loaded.
⚠️ Warning: The Asset Management option (offline) has a strong impact on the weight of your application.
Download the standalone package, extract the archive, then launch the
installer from the extracted folder. If you run the installer from inside the
ZIP file, Windows may show a misleading network error because the .7z
package is not accessible.
What the package contains
- The published version of your project. Publish your latest changes before exporting: once the project has been published, changes saved in Studio but not published are not included. A project that has never been published is embedded as last saved.
- A single project. The option is available only when the application contains one project. For a content hub, this is the portal’s project: projects that are only in channels are not embedded. A channel’s Desktop link then opens that channel online, and the application reopens on the embedded project the next time it starts.
- Not external resources. External websites, streamed media, remote data, and sign-in services still need the network.
To update your application, you need to export a new EXE and reinstall it on the devices.
🐼 The Standalone EXE requires a Single, Multi, Full, or Ultra plan with Yearly or One-Time Payment billing. Compare the plans.
