always been mine…

Note that this method is not applicable/suitable for all kinds of applications.

Now let me start with the process. If you do not have WinRAR Archiver, get one and install. After that, select an application and install it in you machine. After installation, go to it’s installation folder. Copy the whole folder containing all the files of that program and save it somewhere else in your computer. Right click on the folder and choose “Add to Archive” then winRAR will open. In the General tab, set the compression method to “Best” and in the Archiving options, check the “Create SFX Archive”. Go to Advanced tab and click SFX options button. In the General tab inside the SFX Options, type the filename of the application that will be run(example “photoshop.exe”). After that, still in the SFX Options, go to Modes tab. “Check” the Unpack to temporary folder. Set the silent Mode to “Hide All” and press OK. Then press OK button in the WinRAR(main) after you have done the following. After that Winrar will start compressing the whole folder and will create an EXE/Application on the same directory with the same filename. Just wait for Winrar to finish zipping.

That’s it. You now have created a portable application. You can change the icon and the logo of the portable app you created by using icon changer software. It can also be changed on the Winrar panel, just go through all the tabs and you will find it there.

Hope this helps…
