Avoid packaging on your own machine or any machine which has other software & components installed on it. Note: packaging has to be done on a clean virtual machine (I personally use VMWARE Workstation and Operating System only without any additional software installed on it). Also, portable apps created by CAMEYO can work in “isolated mode”, never interfering with your Windows stability (unlike regular software).Ĭameyo is arguably the simplest application virtualization software for creating and editing virtual software packages. Once this step is done, you will be able to use this software on any machine without having to re-install it again. The process consists of making a snapshot of your system before the installation of the program you want to make “portable” then Cameyo “captures” the installation and it “packages” all the differences that the program setup has made in your sytem giving you a ready to run portable app. The process of turning a program into a portable software is called “packaging”. People at CAMEYO offer a fully functional FREE version of their software altough, for extreme customizations of the packages created by CAMEYO a license is more than reccomended and far cheaper than competing programs.

It has a fast learning curve and you can “release” your portable apps in a few minutes. I would like to focus this tutorial on one specific program I really love and use every day… CAMEYO. There are several methods you can use to make portable software and several tools can be used.
