![]() ![]() For clarity throughout the post, I will refer to D:\ as the drive location) The ahk script I've written assumes the user created the following folder structure:ĭ:\Portable Folder (the drive of course can be different - I'm using D:\ as an example. Create a folder anywhere on your computer to store all the portable app's files. Below are the steps I use to collect and create the necessary files.ġ. ![]() But if you know of any other similar scripts, please reply and post the links because I'm always interested in seeing another approach to performing the same tasks.īefore getting to the script, it's necessary to collect and create the files to run an app portably (this is the case for any method used to create portable apps). I'm not sure if others have posted similar scripts, but I searched through the forum and was unable to find any relevant results, so I thought, what the hell. Not many lines of code are needed, and from my experience, the results are significanly better than using NSIS with the structure (startup times are noticeably faster). Then it dawned on me: ahk has all the necessary commands to create the portable launchers instead!Īs it turns out, using AHK, IMHO, is a much more efficient way to portablize apps. I managed to create several fully functional portable apps, but it was a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to learn NSIS scripting language (particularly because I'm so used to ahk). I began learning how to use NSIS scripting language to create portable apps of my own. Their method to create portable versions of apps consists mainly of using NSIS to compile portable launchers, as well as. I use many of their portablized programs such as Firefox, FileZilla, and others. Hi all, many of you have probably heard of. For more advanced users, simply scroll down to the script. Note: This post is written in a newbie-friendly way. ![]()
