I really want my program SmashIndex.com provided by Bravenet.com (SmashIndex Logger) to be packaged as a portable app. I like the usability and the whole menu thing, just cuts the cake.
My only problem is :crying:

vbas31w.sll
vgui31w.sll
voflr31w.sll
vthk31w.dll
vtk1631w.dll
vtk3231w.dll
vvm31w.dll
vvmt31w.dll
and the .exe and .tkn files:mad:

must all stay in the same directory. Can someone help me think of a hack around this, so I can package my program as a portable app?:confused: Thanks very much guys.:w00t:

Portableapps uses vmware thinapps client (within vmware) to package installed programs into portable installation files.

Hey, how it works in USB flash drive, iPod, or portable hard drives ?

The vmware appliance uses a freshly installed OS, and installs the program registering the changes. It then puts the program and the portable files into a neatly wrapped package for distribution. You say that you own the program though, can you not just point to the DLLs in a single folder like portableapps?

As I recall, there is a program at PortableApps.com for wrapping your application as a portable app. I would suspect that you just need to include the dll's in the same folder as the .exe.

The application will not allow me to do that. I don't know why and the language doesn't allow me to point to the dlls either. They must remain in the same folder as the EXE and TKN. The EXE is the compiler itself which only compiles what is in the TKN file which has been mumbled up to hide the source.
