How To Make Portables

First of all, I have to tell you that making a portable program is software developers’ privilege. Only they can design a software not to use the Windows registry, to store its configuration files in their own directory and not to depend on the host computer’s system files, etc.

In this guide I will show you how to make a launcher for a program. The launcher prepares the host computer so when the program launches, all of its configuration files and registry entries, etc. are already present on the host computer. Thus the result won’t be a portable software at all but a software which will make the original application seem to be portable.

When you close the non-portable application, the launcher removes traces from the host computer and saves the configuration settings, so if you launch it on another computer, all your settings will come back.

It also restores the settings of a local installation of the program, if any.
