how to make every app portable?

(1/4) > >>

kalos:
hello

my goal is to have each of my favorite software portable, ie. in a folder with all the settings gathered there, without altering the PC or OS when I run them from their folder

I want to save time installing and configuring from the begining my apps, when I get new PC or new OS

which solution do you recommend?

thanks

Isn't that just a collection of apps that happen to be portable?

I think the only true way to take your setup with you would be as a complete virtual PC running in virtualbox or similar.

By the way, this has no right being a word:

Portablization

Yep, but there's a quite huge collection already. Most likely all the OP needs is there :D

That would have 2 disadvantages:

* You'd need a quite big USB drive
* You still have to install the virtualization platform before you can do anything
