What Is The Process Of Converting An Installed Program/Application Into A Portable Program/Application?
Hello. I have a question to ask you.
What is the process of making or creating (in essense converting) an installed program/application into a portable program/application?
I am totally new to this process and I like to know the process. I am willing to learn. I have heard EE experts here on this EE Forum and other forums state that they have done this often with satisfactory results.
What I need to know:
1. I need to know and be able to understand the principles and methodology of this process?Any good website link(s) that provide a good explanation and instruction you can recommend?
2. I also need to know if any third party programs/applications (free or paid) are necessary to the modifying or changing installed files so they are portable files? Which third party applications (free or paid) are available to use and what do you recommend if you know more than one? What is the best one(s)?
3. Are there any legal or copyright infringement issues associated with this for one's own personal use or not? Please explain.
Please provide your own detailed steps with suggestions, hints, and tips; and/or the best possible well written, detailed and documented website links hopefully with images and demonstrations along with the instructions.
DO NOT USE LMGTFY.com or similar-like web links in your reply. I consider its use very unprofessional for EE experts. If you do, you will not get acknowledged and receive no credit.
NOTE: Obviously your asking what operating system are we dealing with. Answer: This applies to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
Please reply.
Thank you!

Hi Hi Hi.....It is not a good practice to ask so many questions like a school home work here.
I doubt this is homework...
@karunamoorthy
You might want to reference that info you posted, as it looks like a copy/paste from another site, which is a tos violation of EE

@ DaveBaldwin, ivanoviola, dbrunton, rindi, ve3ofa, karunamoorthy, johnb6767, and upalakshitha:
Hello. I have to say nice to meet you ivanoviola, karunamoorthy, and upalakshitaha! Thank you for your comments. I want to say hello again to DaveBaldwin, dbrunton, rindi, ve3ofa, and johnb6767! Thank you for all your comments.
I first have to say this, I am very inquisitive and I am now researching at this time on converting an installed program/application into a portable program/application. I would very much like to do this for the first time in the near future. I have no current project awaiting this conversion process at this very moment. I am at the research stages at this point. I just wanted to clarify a few of your expert comments in that you believed I was actually ready to begin the conversion process. I will say I received a plethora of information, not only the applications that are applicable to the conversion process, but also SO MANY suggestions, hints, and tips!!! As a combined source of information from all expert comments in this question/thread is a excellent reference on how to convert an installed program/application into a portable program/application. This is a totally new domain and therefore a new challenge for me.
Right now my head is overwhelmed with the information and data presented by your expert comments. Due to my serious lack of prior experience with this area and some comprehension with some of the indirect references to other programs made by experts, I do have enough information to begin to practice from your expert comments and your weblinks instructions and information. Unfortunately, I am not going to leave this question/thread open indefinitely for my first testing experience. Therefore I have closed this question/thread.
My solution titles and awards are going to be based on the information you have provided me without any testing experience that is not typical of my normal question/thread evaluations procedures. However, like I said, I will not leave this question/thread open for a few weeks while I am testing and learning this in my limited free time. It is not fair to you. Therefore everyone will be awarded solution titles and points for their expert comments since I see all expert comments viable information. Now in terms of awarding that ONE "Accepted Solution", I have found ivanoviola as providing me the most instructions and the most selection of free and paid applications that many other experts have suggested to use. I have to say that this is NOT a poor means to award the "Accepted Solution" since ultimately, how would one award the "Accepted Solution" from the information presented? Yes, I could find my own 'favorite' program from one of the experts over another, but most of you are in agreement with ivanoviola's program/software recommendations anyways. That is why everyone will receive points with their valuable information. Without my in-depth testing and experimental researching with your responses prior to this threads , I normally award points 'evenly' per se regardless of the "Accepted Solution" or "Assisted Solution" to expert comments. To be honest, even if I did some assessmentsfrom your expert comments, I the results I am about to present would be the relatively the same conclusion as well. This is the fairest I can be. The breakdown in chart form for easier interpretation:
1. DaveBaldwin - comment - Assisted Solution - 60 points
2. ivanoviola - comment - Accepted Solution - 80 points
3. dbrunton - comment - Assisted Solution - 60 points
4. rindi - first comment - Assisted Solution - 60 point
5. ve3ofa - first comment - Assisted Solution - 60 points
6. karunamoorthy - first comment - Assisted Solution - 60 points
7. upalakshitha - comment - Assisted Solution - 60 points
8. ve3ofa - second comment - Assisted Solution - 60 points
I want to take a moment to thank johnb6767 and rindi for your efforts to demonstrate legitimate "fair and proper posting practices" that I do uphold! Please, lets all of us ollow proper EE polices and procedures. We all appreciate that. :-)
Again, thank you all!!!
