PortableApps.com Installer

Packages portable apps into distributable installers

Description

You have tidied a program into a portable folder and want to hand it to a colleague or drop it on a USB stick. Sending the folder never quite works: dozens of files, nobody knows which one to run, and an archive extracted to the wrong place refuses to start.

PortableApps.com Installer turns that directory into a single installer in the PortableApps format — double-click, pick a location, and it unpacks with paths, language and menu integration handled. It builds on the proven NSIS engine, needs no code at all, and ships interface text in 88 languages so one package works for colleagues anywhere.

Features



One-step packaging: Point it at a prepared portable directory, press Go, and you get a distributable installer without writing a script.

NSIS compression core: Built on the long-proven NSIS engine: small output, fast extraction, compatible across Windows versions.

88 interface languages: The installer follows the system language, so one build covers every region.

Online installer mode: Produce an installer that fetches the original package at run time and extracts from ZIP, MSI, NSIS or InnoSetup.

Command-line friendly: Pass a directory as an argument to package it directly, which slots into build scripts or a Send To shortcut.
