Application Virtualization - Make your applications portable
(1/1)
4wd:
For those that are interested in making their applications portable, there's a new kid on the block - well, it's been around since April but I haven't seen anyone mention it here.
Cameyo - Free Application Virtualization
Very easy to use and you end up with a single executable application 'package' which seems to run ok on other Windows OSes, (providing the necessary dependencies are there of course).
A slightly cheaper alternative to ThinApp.
Addendum: From browsing the forum, you can add a parameter to the executable command line to remove the temporary files from the host system: "yourapp.exe -remove".
Also, the latest beta can be downloaded from here.
EDIT: Change the subject to be a little more descriptive.

Thanks for the info.
It seems pretty nifty. You can apparently install in a sandbox and make the app portable from there without actually installing it.
This is how I have been doing it anyway manually - maybe Cameyo can do it automatically and save me some work.
I will give it a try!

I haven't had a look at the latest beta, I know it was discussed/requested.
I use a VM with a base XP-SP3 + .NET OS to capture installs using Cameyo - then just revert to the base snapshot after transfering the package out of it.
