Note that according to the FAQ of RegShot, Portable App Creator will only work on Windows Vista if UAC is disabled. Other versions of AutoIt, Regshot and/or UPX may work too. The scripts have been written, tested and compiled using AutoIt 3.3.6.1, RegShot 1.8.2 and UPX 3.07. The package was developed to work on all 32-bit versions of Windows since 2000. A lot of work has been done since, to make it useful for all people having a PortableApps drive.ĭeveloping of Portable App Creator takes place using a (Virtual Box'ed) 32-bit, English version of Windows XP Professional SP3 (updated with all packages available at Microsoft Update). The first version was written in one day using AutoIt3 and RegShot.

All original settings of the host-computer will be backed-up prior to running the PortableApp and are being restored after the PortableApp closes.

Portable App Creator should work with any device.Ī PortableApp created with Portable App Creator will (temporarily) copy the necessary files in %systemroot%\system32, %userprofile%, %allusersprofile%, %commonprogramfiles% as well as the necessary information in the registry to the host-computer. Just start monitoring and install the application to your PortableApps drive. It should be used on a clean host-PC, with no traces of the application you'd wish to make portable. That's Portable App Creator: It which monitors an installation in order to make a PortableApp. So I coded a small program, which monitors an installation in order to make a PortableApp myself. I found that I'd want some frequently used apps on my PortableApps drive. Do not bother trying to download or use it (it's gone, anyway).
