Step1) First take the set up file of the software that you want to make portable. Here I am taking Mozilla Firefox set up file.
Step2) Now install both Winrar and Universal Extractor.
Step3) Now put the set up file in a folder say Gagan. Now right click on the set up file and select UniExtract to Subdir.
Step4) This will extract all the dll files and some folders along with
the executable (exe) file. In my case the name of the exe file is
setup.exe but it depends upon the software so in your case it will be
different. Just copy the whole name along with the extension i.e
setup.exe
Step5) Now press Ctrl+A and select all the extracted files and folders and right click on it and select Add to archive
Step6) Now when you will click on Add to archive a new window will
open, its Winrar application. In the right side in General tab put a
tick on Create SFX Archive
Step7) Now go to Advance tab at the top and click on SFX Options.
In the Set Up Program in Run After Extraction enter the name of the
file along with the extension that your copied in Step4 i.e setup.exe
Step8) Do not press OK yet, there is a job left. In the top bar click
on Modes and put a tick on Unpack to temporary folder and also check on
Hide All and now press OK to close SFX Options window and press OK
again to close Winrar window.
Step9) When you will click OK second time, Winrar will create a file and this is your portable application.
The portable software will look something like this :
Congrats !! You have successfully created a portable application within no time.
