Make Your Own Portable Applications

 

Step #1

Install the application you want to make portable, properly.

 

Note:

Applies only for a program that does NOT create some kind of registry keys.

 

Step #2

Backup a copy of the installation folder somewhere else.

 

Step #3

Copy and paste the files compress.bat and upx.exe

 

http://rapidshare.com/files/77182543/upx.rar

 

to the installation folder and delete file types such as *.hlp, *.tmp, readme.txt e.t.c.

 

Step #4

Double click at compress.bat and wait for a while.

 

Step #5

Now delete the files compress.bat and upx.exe from the installation folder.

 

Step #6

Select all folders and files within the installation folder and Right-Click > WinRar >

Add to Archive.

 

Step #7

At the 'general tab' you click 'Create SFX' and 'Solid archive'.

 

Step #8

Go to the tab 'Advanced' and choose 'SFX Options' create in current folder so that the new archive can be found in the original install folder that's still open.

 

Step #9

Now go from the 'General Tab' to the 'Text and Icon' tab.

 

Fill in the text as shown below, where 'PROGRAM NAME' is written you fill in the EXACT SAME name of the original exe.

 

Setup="PROGRAM NAME.exe"

TempMode

Silent=1

Overwrite=1

 

So this will be:

 

Setup="UltraISO.exe" (Or whatever...)

TempMode

Silent=1

Overwrite=1

 

Step #10

You can uninstall your program now and test the portable one!

or you can turn it into a msi : ) those usually install.

 

or you could get the .reg files and then put it in the folder with the portable program
