Every day, we come across interesting software that can make our computing experience better. However, we were baffled by the fact that installing a lot of software can make your computer cumbersome.
If you regularly use the computer at work, you may be prohibited from installing additional software. In such cases, mobile applications will come in handy. Portable application does not need to be installed. They are executables that can be run from a USB drive. Many programs offer separate portable versions for consumer convenience. But if the tool you use doesn’t offer a portable version, don’t worry, that’s what we’ll talk about in this article.
This tutorial will show you how you can virtualize and create a portable version of any program you may want. We will use an application virtualization software called Cameyo (window only) for this purpose.
Here are the steps.
1. Start by installing Cameyo on your PC – Download Cameyo
2. Open Cameyo and click Capture Install to get started.
3. Cameyo will now take a snapshot of your system while displaying the dialog shown below.
4. After the system snapshot is finished, you can install the software that you feel like making portable. After the software installation is finished, click Install Done in the prompt as shown below.
5. Cameyo will now take another system snapshot to find the difference between the results of the first and second snapshot to make the app portable. After the snapshot After installation, a dialog box showing successful package creation message will appear.
6. You can now find the installed application as a single virtual file in the folder where Cameyo is located. This file can be further copied to the flash drive for use on other systems without having to install it. There is also an option to edit the virtual package to suit your needs.
7. You can now uninstall software (in my case YouTube Downloader) from your PC. A .virtual file can be copied to a flash drive and can be used on any computer running Microsoft Windows.
Almost all apps work well with Cameyo. You can also package a specific application’s runtime into a single package (e.g. Flash/Java for Firefox).
If you still want to better understand the whole process, I recommend you watch the video below.
