ThinApp: Creating self-contained apps with no mess!Submitted by iheijoushin on June 23, 2009 - 8:07pm
This may be a stupid question, but how can one create a truly self-contained portable executable using ThinApp? Each time I try to create a ThinApp version of a game (Fallout 1-2, if you must ask), it creates a single .EXE. When you open said EXE it generates a mess of files: Registry.tvr.backup, Registry.rw.tvr.lck, Registry.rw.tvr, and a directory called "%ProgramFilesDir%". Am I missing something? How do I make a portable version of an app that doesn't need to generate these files outside of itself when opened? Thanks in advance! Love the site! ( categories: )

for onething we don't use
for onething we don't use thinapp, most copies of Thinstall/thinapp are illegal and should not be used

I will look into the other alternatives people suggest on this site.
Thanks for the help.
As said, we don't use ThinApp
As said, we don't use ThinApp here.
But I can say that these files are necessary to store the modifications done when running the application (ie: Configuration files, etc), which is completely normal.
Think of a ThinApp application like a game disc, and these files like a gamesave. Without these, you'll fall back at the original state/beginning of the game everytime you launch it.
