vscPortable via Visual Studio Code 1.99.3 Dev Test 1

[Launch]
ProgramExecutable=x86\Code.exe
ProgramExecutable64=x64\Code.exe
DirectoryMoveOK=yes
SupportsUNC=yes

[Activate]
Java=find
XML=true
Registry=true

[RegistryKeys]
-=HKCU\Software\Classes\vscode

[DirectoriesMove]
Code=%APPDATA%\Code
.vscode=%USERPROFILE%\.vscode

[DirectoriesCleanupForce]
;1=%APPDATA%\Code

You have already a DirectoriesMove on %APPDATA%\Code. If you force delete %APPDATA%\Code means that you want to delete the local one.

There are several ways to make it portable (check the forum), but after a simple search in internet for visual studio code portable we can find this https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/portable#_enable-portable-mode, so let's use them.

\VSCodePortable\App\AppInfo\Launcher\VSCodePortable.ini

[Launch]
ProgramExecutable=x86\Code.exe
ProgramExecutable64=x64\Code.exe
DirectoryMoveOK=yes
SupportsUNC=yes
CleanTemp=false

[DirectoriesMove]
Code=%FullAppDir%\data
settings\.vscode=%USERPROFILE%\.vscode


And because there are x64 and x86 version, you may wish to transfer the data folder between them. For this you will need a custom code > https://portableapps.com/manuals/PortableApps.comLauncher/topics/64-bit....

\VSCodePortable\App\AppInfo\Launcher\Custom.nsh

${SegmentFile}

${SegmentInit}
${If} $Bits = 64
${SetEnvironmentVariablesPath} FullAppDir "$EXEDIR\App\x64"
${Else}
${SetEnvironmentVariablesPath} FullAppDir "$EXEDIR\App\x86"
${EndIf}
!macroend


After that you must re-build the launcher again because of the Custom.nsh.

Note: use %USERPROFILE% instead of %HOMEPATH%
Note2: there is no need of installer.ini if you use both x64 and x86

I tried the v1.87.2 - x64 only version, and I assume you have not applied the native portable mode to that one, it still copies all data to the subfolders in %userprofile% and %appdata%. So I just said f* it and went with the native portable version... saves a buttload in launch times and don't need to install a useless 32 bit version.

Frankly speaking, I wonder why you even bothered to have it copy the files to userprofile and appdata... a simple rename to use the data folder inside the app folder would have greatly reduced loading and closing times. And you wouldn't even need the registry key.
