How To Create Portable Software Program

When u go to CITC or Library..Do u notice some of the peeps r able to play CS or Dota without d fucking CD? Some questions pop up in ur mind.
How? How?

Ok people, this tutorial will show you how to make portable games. (Can apply in other s/w as well)

1. I am going to use the game called Open Arena
2. Firstly you install your game.
3. Get the folder of where the game files are and copy them to the desktop.
4. You need Winrar, right-click the folder and select “Add to Archive”
5. Check the box “Create SFX Archive”



6. Click the Advanced Tab, then click “SFX Options”



7. In the General Tab, where it says “Path to extract” type %temp%.

8. Also in the General Tab, where it says “Run after extraction” type the .exe file that you want to load, for example ‘OpenArena\ioquake3.x86.exe’ without the ‘’.



9. Then goto the Mode tab and check the box that says ‘Unpack to temporary folder’


10. Then if you want to customize your package a little bit, you can goto the ‘Text and Icon’ Tab and insert a title, some text, and icon and a logo. After you’ve done everything you want to do, click OK OK OK, wait for it to compress, and PRESTO, you’re all done. I hope this helps you guys out with making portable stuff.

Cheers.
