Create portable version of a software


Create portable version of a software using WinRar SFX


A portable program is a piece of software that you can carry around with you on a portable device like USB Drives and use on any other computer in college and office. It can be your email program, your browser, system recovery tools or even an operating system. The coolest part about it, is that all of your data and settings are always stored on a Thumb drive so when you unplug the device, none of your personal data is left behind.



Here I’m going to make portable application of VSO Image re-size.



To create Portable Application you need to download Universal Extractor and WinRar



1. Install both Universal Extractor and Winrar

Right Click on the Application which you wish to make it as Portable. There will be Option “UniExtract to Subdir”. Click on it.

 


2. This will Unextract the Appz and a Command Prompt will be displayed on the Screen



3. After this you can find some extracted Folder as you see in Screenshot below.

5.Press CTRL+A (Select All) and Right Click. Now Click add to Archive ..

As i have Shown in the Below Screenshot.



6. Now give a Archive name Resize.rarUnder Archieving Option Select Create SFX Archieve. And set Compression Mode as Best.


 7. Now Click Advanced Tab and Click SFX Options.
 
8. This will Open a New Dialog Box(Advanced SFX Option). In the General Tab.Under Run After Extraction. Give the Appz File name (Here i have given Resize.exe this is the File name copied in step 5)
 
9. Now move on to Modes Tab. Select Unpack to Temporary Folder Hide all ,Overwrite all in updates Files.


10. Now move on to Modes Tab. Select Unpack to Temporary Folder Hide all ,Overwrite all Files.
11. This will Create a Archive for the respective Appz.
