# Amorcer la version portable de Remote Desktop Manager

Il arrive que des utilisateurs n'aient pas le privilège d'installer Remote Desktop Manager sur leur machine. Cet obstacle peut être contourné en installant une version portable de Remote Desktop Manager et en utilisant une variable d'environnement pour définir le chemin vers le runtime .NET requis.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Notez que cette méthode n'est pas entièrement testée et peut donc être instable.
{% endhint %}

Voici les étapes :

1. Téléchargez le runtime .NET et le runtime .NET Windows Desktop compressés. Ceux-ci ne sont pas disponibles sur la page de téléchargement de Microsoft; ils doivent plutôt être téléchargés à partir des [publications officielles du projet](https://dotnetcli.blob.core.windows.net/dotnet/release-metadata/8.0/releases.json).
2. Extrayez les archives des runtimes dans le même répertoire.
3. Définissez la variable d'environnement `DOTNET_ROOT` pour qu'elle pointe vers le répertoire du runtime .NET extrait.
4. Lancez RemoteDesktopManager.exe avec la variable d'environnement correctement définie (à partir du même terminal/invite).

Voici un script simple pour effectuer la configuration automatiquement; seuls le runtime .NET, le runtime .NET Windows Desktop et le dossier de destination doivent être fournis :

```powershell
function BootstrapPortableRDM {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Bootstrap a portable installation of RDM 2025.x
    .DESCRIPTION
        You must provide the zipped .NET Runtime and .NET Windows Desktop Runtime. The
        zip releases are not available on the Microsoft download page but can be found
        in the project releases at https://dotnetcli.blob.core.windows.net/dotnet/release-metadata/10.0/releases.json.
        Additionally you must provide the zipped Remote Desktop Manager and a location to
        create the portable package root.
        A launch script will be generated in the packaged `RDM` directory.
    .EXAMPLE
        $PackageRoot=Join-Path $Env:USERPROFILE "portable"
        ./setup-environment.ps1 -DotNetRuntimeArchiveFilePath "dotnet-runtime-10.0.3-win-x64.zip" -DotNetDesktopRuntimeArchiveFilePath "windowsdesktop-runtime-10.0.3-win-x64.zip" -RemoteDesktopManagerArchiveFilePath "Devolutions.RemoteDesktopManager.Bin.2025.1.31.0.zip" -PackageRootDirectory $PackageRoot
        & $(Join-Path $PackageRoot "RDM/launch-rdm.ps1")
    #>
    param(
        [Parameter(Mandatory, HelpMessage="The .NET Runtime .zip archive")]
        [string] $DotNetRuntimeArchiveFilePath,
        [Parameter(Mandatory, HelpMessage="The .NET Windows Desktop Runtime .zip archive")]
        [string] $DotNetDesktopRuntimeArchiveFilePath,
        [Parameter(Mandatory, HelpMessage="The Remote Desktop Manager .zip archive")]
        [string] $RemoteDesktopManagerArchiveFilePath,
        [Parameter(Mandatory, HelpMessage="The root packaging folder")]
        [string] $PackageRootDirectory
    )
    $ErrorActionPreference = "stop"
    $DotNetRuntimeArchiveFilePath = Resolve-Path $DotNetRuntimeArchiveFilePath
    $DotNetDesktopRuntimeArchiveFilePath= Resolve-Path $DotNetDesktopRuntimeArchiveFilePath
    $RemoteDesktopManagerArchiveFilePath= Resolve-Path $RemoteDesktopManagerArchiveFilePath
    New-Item -Path $PackageRootDirectory -Type Directory -Force
    Push-Location $PackageRootDirectory
    Expand-Archive $RemoteDesktopManagerArchiveFilePath -DestinationPath "RDM"
    Expand-Archive $DotNetRuntimeArchiveFilePath -DestinationPath "dotnet"
    Expand-Archive $DotNetDesktopRuntimeArchiveFilePath -DestinationPath "dotnet"
    $LaunchScript = @'
$DotNetRoot = Join-Path $(Get-Item $PSScriptRoot).Parent.FullName "dotnet"
$Env:DOTNET_ROOT=$DotNetRoot
$RdmDir = Join-Path $(Get-Item $PSScriptRoot).Parent.FullName "RDM"
$Rdm = Join-Path $RdmDir "RemoteDesktopManager.exe"
& "$Rdm"
'@
    $LaunchScript | Out-File $(Join-Path RDM "launch-rdm.ps1")
    Pop-Location
}
BootstrapPortableRDM @args
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/fr/knowledge-base/how-to-articles/bootstrap-portable-remote-desktop-manager-version.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
