This is a video I made for my article about making portable applications.
In it, I am making a portable version of Ares P2P using PAL, the Portable Application launcher.

  • Can the portablized app run on a college or school pc where the permissions are restricted?

  • @OperoNexus It depends on the program. If the program only needed admin rights so that it could be installed for all users then after making it portable it will probably run without admin rights. But for example if you try to make a temperature monitoring program portable, then it will probably still need admin rights so that it can read data from the sensors. Also programs that need to run a service usually can't be made portable this way.

  • What i have to write in .ini file if i have registry keys in 2 different place?

  • @TheAslanDA There is a detailed tutorial the link of which can be found in the video details. You can't use PAL if your program uses multiple registry paths. At least not the current PAL version. Also they can't be combined into one single exe. Especially binding the setting in the exe is hard and not even Thinstall which costs a fortune does it either. I can think of some tricks to do it but they are not worth the work needed since they would slow down everything apparently.

  • And is it possible to make all those files into 1 portable .exe file? I tried it with sxf archive but it took forever to load..
