Single .exe file written in NSIS

Submitted by MaxxApps on December 2, 2008 - 8:53pm

I'm pretty sure I read this somewhere in the forums a year or two ago. But, thought maybe it was time to ask again. What complications are involved in compressing a .paf format application into a single run file. I would have to believe that it would be much more convenient if apps were written this way if possible. If anyone has any ideas or comments, please post them. Let's really give ThinApp and Xenocode something to talk about!

For anyone who's interested, they're giving away 1-year licenses.

In the email I got with the license key, I also got a code for 50% off a lifetime license.

I know it stores preferences in %appdata%, so it's not portable, but I think the CLI app usr.exe can be used portably.

What's the minimum read and write speed requirements, to run portable software?

First sorry for my bad english.

My question is:
what should be the read and write speed of a usb stick, which will allow software to be runned from it?

And if it's different for every program, which is the best (optimal) read/write speed who will allow most programs to run?

Thanks!
