Making a program portable

[wilber]

What's the best way to go about it? Anyone has like a step by step process?

[geek]

I don't have a step by step process, but I can tell you that the main thing will be to trace where the prog places the files and put them all in one folder.

[clipshare]

Yes, but you also have to grab the registry entries and keep it in the same folder.

Wilber, which program are you trying to make portable?

[wilber]

Its a game I'd like to port from back and forth from my laptop to my pc without having to install.

If you want to do that make sure you see all hidden files that may be on the disc.

Keep in mind that most of those portable programs still write entries to the disk but they put in a separate folder, so if you are truly using it for portable means you can look for those.

Depending on how the program was modified the files are stored with the same folder of the executed program.
