Creating portables

I'm interested in making portables for a couple of old games that few people care about.

Portable Apps Launcher is ancient and projects to replace it are either closing their source or abandoned.

Is there a process to making a portable with your framework?

I am currently working on a new project to simplify all the necessary ways to make any software portable.

Unfortunately I can only work on it in the evening and have other projects as well. However, I'm looking forward to publish it during the next month. But when exactly, I can not say at the moment.

I'll link it here if I put it on GitHub for you to be notified. 😉

Looking forward to it.

Hey, any update on this?

As you might have guessed, the task was a bit more complicated in the end. There is this and that and you have little time for such projects that you theoretically work for free.

However, the base library may be ready for publication. All I have to do is clean up the project and write a readme.txt file. You can then use the library to portalize programs. But this will not be as comfortable as intended because I have not completed the work on the configuration tool yet.

So you still need Visual Studio 2017 and programming skills can also be helpful. But I will provide a project template. Theoretically, it should be pretty easy, even if you have no experience with programming. You just have to use it once to learn the mechanics.

I'll probably release the library tomorrow. But note that this will not be a final release. So there could still be some issues.
