What is a portable software? Portable software is software that can be used but without the need to be installed first, the core software can be directly used by first editing the registry, we also can create their own portable software, following the steps how to create portable software :
1. Software that we will make samples for this experiment is a free “Opera browser”. can be downloaded in the first http://www.opera.com/browser.
2. Further tools are needed systracer.zip which can be downloaded at http://www.snapdrive.net/files/588167/SysTracer.zip
3. Further tools are needed is WinRar. This I am sure you must have.
4. Ok, then run this systracer.zip that you have downloaded software to edit the registry before the “portable” it.
5. Install “Opera Browser” you who have downloaded earlier.
6. Now take another snapshot, to see the changes that have been ‘done’ opera after snapshot 2 times, do compare.
7. See the changes in the registry, (Note the directory HKEY_CURRENT_USER (HKCU) and HKEY_Current_Machine (HKCM) only) registry that has changed happened on the green colour.
8. Create a new folder to store files for the purposes of making software portable.
9. Now, open the registry editor (Start -> Run -> type “regedit” [without quotes] -> OK) to regisrty Export. To HKCU select HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Opera Software -> and Export
10. Then then save with the name oport1.reg in OPORT folder, for HKCM select -> Software -> Netscape -> Netscape Navigator -> Opera -> main -> Export
11. Save with name oport2.reg in OPORT folder.
12. Then make Unreg so the software we run/execution does not leave a trace in the registry.
13. How to make the unreg, see oport1.reg or oport2.reg and Copy paste the code below into notepad and save the code below into OPORT folder with the name unreg.reg
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 4.00
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareOpera Software]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARENetscapeNetscape NavigatorOperamain]
Nb:
The second line is to uninstall oport1.reg
The third line is to uninstall oport2.reg
Now copy all the files in C: program files/opera to OPORT folder
Open notepad, Copy codes below:
Code:
regedit/s reg1.reg
regedit/s reg2.reg
Opera.exe
regedit/s unreg.reg
Save with name setup.bat
Nb:
The second line is to uninstall oport1.reg
The third line is to uninstall oport2.reg
Now copy all the files in C: program files/opera to OPORT folder
Open notepad, Copy codes below:
14. Delete all files except files with extension .EXE
15. Done!
