There's a program on the site called JauntePE, but it's a little hard to use. Good luck!

[denash1]

yeah ich have used JauntePE but it slowed down my programms at starting so that is nothing for me...

sry but got another question.......

Are people allowed to use open office for a asmall business free of charge? is that the meaning of open source????

THX in advance

...Are people allowed to use open office for a asmall business free of charge?..

from their web site: "the product is free to download, use, and distribute"

...is that the meaning of open source????

no, read this. in short open source means that the source code for the program(s) is available also.

Have a read of this article: http://portableapps.com/development

Also check out the Portable Application Template: http://portableapps.com/node/6709

It is essentially an NSIS script that has already done all the hard work for you, you just need to change a few variables. If you can't manage that, you really shouldn't be trying to develop portable applications.
