1. Download the V-Ray installer executable (.exe).

2. Open a Command Prompt. Type out: the location of the installer that you just downloaded -unpackInstall= location where you wish to unpack. Alternatively, you can drag and drop the installer and a target folder for unpacking into the Command Prompt to insert their directories. Press Enter to run the command. As an example, you can create a new folder called vray_builds to hold all portable V-Ray builds. Then, you can make other sub-folders and name them according to the V-Ray build version, for example vray_60002_maya2023 . It should look something like this:

   Code Block
   language powershell
   D:\Downloads\vray_adv_60002_maya2023_x64.exe -unpackInstall=D:\vray_builds\vray_60002_maya2023
