I had it installed for a while...

Really good app. I'll see what I can do.
EDIT: it seems to already be portable (not PAF, though). What would be the best way to handle this (i.e. what to install by default, etc.)? Maybe something like the XAMPP Launcher is more appropriate?

No

We PAF lots of apps that are zipped portable apps as they generally fall down in a number of things on our check list of what portable means: https://portableapps.com/about/what_is_a_portable_app

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

It's not zipped

It has a package manager of its own.

Hmmm

Perhaps a normal-ish set of packages then. XAMPP was a one-time thing from a long time ago that's like that for legacy reasons. We will, at some point, get it into a proper PAF.

MiKTeX is already portable...

Thus it is probably a way easier to integrate MiKTeX. AFAIK MikTeX is also the better distribution for Windows.

Have a great day.

I have a working MiKTeX package, and will have it put up near the end of next week.
