I've been trying to create an portable app for a Mitsu parts software called CAPS (computer automatic parts search). But I seem to be having some problems!
Is this one of those that cant be made into a portable app?

Does it use Java?
Does it use .Net Framwork?
Does it use the Registry?
Where does it write its setting to?
And by the way, I couldn't find the app on google. Could you at least post a link?
The easiest way to check is to install the application on your computer (presumably it comes as an installer), copy the executable and any data files to a USB drive. Take that USB drive to a computer where the application is not installed and try to run it.
If it runs, there's a good chance (but no guarantee) you can make it portable. If it bombs out then chances are you're out of luck. (although again, it's not conclusive). Either way you'll have to run other checks and tests but it's a good starting point. If you want to dig a little deeper then you can run "regshot" on the test computer to see if the app makes changes to the registry.
