After installation.

After installation.
If you have some local msys2 mirrors, you have to manually edit the pacman.conf to add those server address.
Then run the command "pacman -Fy" to update the repo.
After that, you can install any packages you like, see here: Using packages · msys2/msys2 Wiki - https://github.com/msys2/msys2/wiki/Using-packages as a reference page.

Thanks.

Difference Between PackageVersion and DisplayVersion

Mike,
Looking here:

https://github.com/2wayne/MSYS2Portable/commit/1216ebd819b1ddc37f1e432ff...

What's the difference between PackageVersion and DisplayVersion?
Why wouldn't they be the same?

Is it possible to update the base app from old MSYS2 Portable version? Or I have to download the latest 2018.05.31 release.

Thanks.

Another question I would like

Another question I would like to ask is how to change the language when I start the "MSYS2Portable.exe".
I'm currently on a Windows 7 64bit system(the system language is Chinese), when I start the "MSYS2Portable.exe", I see all the messages returned from the bash command line are shown in Chinese.

I see the file "appinfo.ini", there is a line:
Language=English

Are there any places I can set the languages?

Thanks.

EDIT, this problem is fixed, I just add a line
LANG=en_US
in the file \App\msys32\msys2.ini, then bash show all messages in English.

UCRT64

Would be great to have Launcher for UCRT64 - which is the new recommended environment by the MSYS team.
