" For portabilizer I mean a competor of PortableApps, not a rival of WMWare ThinApp". Now you have all the data you need in order to repackage as a portable app.,Īs you have written to me yesterday, i can say the same to you today. I use SysTracerPro to take snapshots before and after the initial app install. you need a clean system and a way to scan all the changes so you can start to build your portable app. If you know about all the stuff that needs to be done, you can then package it with NSISĪutoit is most likely not the tool you are seeking for this job. You need to figure out what the app does at install time, then YOU must do it all after you plunk down the fileset to the target pc, register all the necessary files (not to mention install needed prerequisites, drivers, etc.), create shortcuts, registry entries, all that. I guess basically you want to repackage an app in NSIS, but that isn't making it portable.
what is this magic algorithm? like to share it?įirst, do you have any idea how to go about making an application installer? because if you don't you won't be able to understand what YOU must do in order to make an application portable. What has NSIS got to do with this? it's for making application installers.
