Is it possible to create a portable UWP app (=no installation needed)

Viewed 2775

The UWP infrastructure seems to have everything what's needed for a portable model.

  • Clear separation between os and application
  • Clear separation between different applications
  • Less dependencies
  • Support portable class libraries

As far I know portable scenario's are not supported right now. Is it something that we can expect in the future or is it intrinsic impossible due the architecture of UWP/WinRT

How hard would it be to create some kind of host executable that can run any local UWP app. At the moment I'm looking for portability between different Windows 10 PC's. Not so much cross device or cross OS.

I'm aware you can side load UWP apps, but that's not what I'm looking for.
