Looking for a good WRAPPER tool
Posted: Mon Nov 14, 2011 2:12 am
I have noticed that there are several tools to wrap/bundle applications (into a single executable file) and I thought to start a new thread to get some concrete feedback from the PFC (creative) folks
Perhaps it is worth clarifying that with "WRAPPER tool" (in this particular thread) I am specifically referring to a tool that does not sandbox (isolate) and virtualize access to the file system and registry.
I am only looking for tools that bundle all the files (and eventual subfolders which are required for an application to work) into a single executable but still allow data to be freely read/written from/to the host system, without any isolation.
I remember having tried "nBinder" (which did not work in most cases) and the wizard-style "FilePacker" (by JvwComputing), which at runtime decompresses a sort of a data subfolder INSIDE the same folder where the application is located... I also recall another application (I read something about it here on PFC but I forgot the name) that I also tested but did not produce satisfactory results.
Any suggestion (for freeware or otherwise) is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
SD
