Hello folks,
i am new to this forum and although i don't actively participate in the discussion on making portable application, since i lack the knowledge and know how or the craft of making one.
But i do visit it actively and download some tools, to my liking.
However now i realize how important it really can be after looking and observing many things.
So i have a application in mind, which i want to have it made portable. They are:
1)1st Mass Mailer: http://www.softstack.com/fstmail.html
2)1st Mail Sender: http://www.softfolder.com/1st_mail_sender.html
Almost similar products, basically they perform the same function.
They are tool for sending newsletter in bulk or bulk emailing to customers and users with predefined text.
They both are 2mb in size, very minute,registering is through giving serials.
I tried downloading the tools from here:https://portableapps.com/apps/development/portableapps.com_launcher
PortableApps.com Launcher and
NSIS Portable Required
But i do not know how to use them.
Can anyone help me in this department.
Awaiting some positive feedback.
Thankyou.

All the smtp/pop server information along with the recipient group list and saved message/to be sent such information are stored in a folder called 1st Mass Mailer present in My Document folder in Winxp.
If i delete that folder, and when i open the applcation 1st Mass Mailer, all the stmp/pop server information are gone.
So i think it can be made portable, except the registry key, that stores the application as full version needs to be backed up.
I don't know how u guys do, but do u think it can be made portable, if Winzip can be made portable then this definitely can be.
Its only 2 MB in size.
Awaiting reply from anyone.
"I don't know how u guys do, but do u think it can be made portable"
Probably however the program noted is not free nor open source, is only a trial and requires purchase.
" if Winzip can be made portable then this definitely can be."
PortableApps does NOT make a portable Winzip it has 7Zip and PeaZip

Yes, it is, however what i want to state is that, i can enter the serial whenever i want , if i am using different PC at different places. However, the Recipient, smtp server info are stored in
My Document folder/1st Mass Sender/ in XP, can't that be contained in a portable version, which normally is the layout of portable application, like Data folder, App folder etc etc.
If you could device or create such layout for this application too, then i think that can be made portable.
Hope you are understanding it, only the layout and not the entire program itself, when one opens the program, all the info are intact, except registering the application, that can be left out.
I think you could do that.
It maybe able to be done however no way to test it as commercial and a license is required. No way to even create an launcher as That would require ownership of the program by the person creating it.
