Jeremy Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 As long as the application doesn't install a Service, it should be able to be made portable.PortableAppsFor most software, you only need to copy the Program Files folder to a flash drive.

Jeremy Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) @JeremyNever heard of the registry, DLL, Application Data folder ? ...For most software, you only need to copy the Program Files folder to a flash drive.If the software uses the registry to create Services, then it can't be made portable. It would have to run completely standalone or use an .INI or .XML file. Application Data, of course. DLL? You mean system32? The more directories it installs files to, the harder it makes it to be made portable. You'd need some method of logging/monitoring where files are being written to such as FileMon or Process Explorer.Regardless, I think there's already enough portable programs to accomplish what someone would want to do. Finding them is the hard part, but the website I linked to is a good start. Edited March 18, 2007 by Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albator Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) K, your fist statement was confusing. It seem like you were saying that any program can be portable as long as it doesn't use service.http://www.portablefreeware.com/ is a good website too.
