In my limited knowledge, creating a portable app conceivably comprises of a simple concept. It's about transplanting Windows registries (let's talk about Windows only) to portable hard drive instead of building them in the host computer. Surely, these registries are which are associated with such a software we want to portablized. In a bit detailed, applying the concept we have to:
- Notice all registry, file, and directory changes if a given software is installed
- Copy and apply the changes in and from our portable drive
Yes, I had similar presumption after coming across some references about this thing. But, I got a big headache then as it isn't so simple as its concepts. Registry associated to a software is not always simple, it can consists of hundreds or even thousands registries. Additionally, as a non programmer, acknowledge which registries are important is difficult, like wise copying and applying (or coding?) it so that it can be run from our portable drive. How come?
Fortunately, there are some cool stuffs I found on the Net. If you are a novice, as I am, a good guy provides a clear tutorial about how to make a simple portable app. It covers all steps required, provides all software necessitated. Although I don't remember what the link where I could find this manual, here the file. Enjoy.
Still confusing with the tutorial and wanna get easier tool to make a portable app? Just be a bit patient, please!
