Office 2003

Submitted by vjuhasz on December 13, 2009 - 3:47am

Hello,

I am wondering if a legal copy of Office 2003 can be packaged in PortableApps format? Is this technically possible?

I am not talking about MS licensing issues, but would be interested if the PortableApp format is advanced enough to handle such an app (wits its tons of registry entries) correctly.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Hoping to get the basics right...before downloading Portable-apps?

I was wondering before the beta goes gold, is there any chance to be able to have a bigger menu?

The menu looks good but if I have a larger screen I think I should be able to use it.

Thank you

Hello All

Brand new to the site so please forgive me if I get it slightly wierd?

Saw this and I think it is an awesome idea but I am a bit confused. Is there a packaging tool that I can use to convert apps to portable applications?

So what I want to do is say find a widget like Trellian Web designer tool and run the install "through" some application and be presented with a portableapp that I can then just "move" to the users machine when they ask for it. Have I got it totally wrong?

If not can you tell me what the packager is called?

Thanks all

A batch file is an executable?

Well, the school always tries to screw me up and well, looks like they were going to ban me again from their computers when they saw me running a batch file. (I was showing a joke to my computer-impaired friend).
