Administrator Lite Posted June 5, 2010 Administrator Share Posted June 5, 2010 WinRAR has already a portable version: WinRAR UnpluggedIt depends on the application you are attempted to make portable. Most Anti-virus tools will be very difficult to make portable (although portable scanners for most major anti-virus tools are already made), due to the requirement of system drivers. Most applications shouldn't be too difficult.Which tools are you looking at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Lite Posted June 5, 2010 Administrator Share Posted June 5, 2010 Like i said it depends on the application.You should monitor an installation and then run the application; see what is installed and where and what files are called during the running of the application. This should give an indication of what the basics of the application are.Process Monitor is ideal for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KotaXor Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Yeap...have been using Thinstall and VMware to make portable for sometime (when using XP).Had not tried on Windows 7 since.Another method was to use NSIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elohelomg Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Thinapp wont work on antiviruses, tried it...but that was some time ago.I think the drivers that it installs is what prevents it from working on other systems.... =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
