Make Exe Portable
Hi,
2: programs like this can't make an app truly portable. Have you checked that the portable apps you have created using this program are truly portable. Do they leave any registry entrees behind on the host computer. Take it or leave it but having an app like this actually goes against the basic principle idea of what PA is all about.

Make is a tool which controls the generation of executables and other non-source files of a program from the program's source files. Make gets its knowledge of how to build your program from a file called the makefile, which lists each of the non-source files and how to compute it from other files. Portable Executable. On NT operating systems, the PE format is used for EXE, DLL, SYS ( device driver ), and other file types. The Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) specification states that PE is the standard executable format in EFI environments. I'm coding a simple application that I need to be portable (the user can just run it by clicking on the.exe without having to run a installer). All the other questions on this subject that I found on StackOverflow wants to make.NET Framework 'bundable' with the software, but I don't need that.

Please reply to these questions:
Do you have any CD/DVD burning software installed?
Let us refer the following steps and see if they help:
a)ISO files are perfect for converting a file into a burnable format for a disc, and the ISO can be created from just about any file you have on your computer, including EXE files.
b)Open the CD/DVD burner application.
c)Open a new window in your computer and locate the EXE file you want to convert to an ISO file.
d)Drag the EXE file into the burning software window and it will automatically load into the program.
e)Click the “Destination” icon folder and select a place for the new ISO file to be saved. Start the conversion process.
f)The length of the conversion process depends on the size of the EXE file; it could take just a few minutes to convert a small EXE file into an ISO file.

Hello,
I do not have Burning Software. Or if I download any, they do not do what I am looking for. I am trying to convert an .exe file into an .iso file. I am not trying to burn anything yet.
How do I do what I am trying to do ?

I'm coding a simple application that I need to be portable (the user can just run it by clicking on the .exe without having to run a installer).
All the other questions on this subject that I found on StackOverflow wants to make .NET Framework 'bundable' with the software, but I don't need that.
A workaround that I found is going to /bin/Debug on the project folder and use the .exe there, but that seems 'wrong'. Is there another way to make a software written in C# portable?

Thanks!
EDIT: Okay, I'm really dumb and I asked all the wrong questions. However, your answers pointed me to the right direction. I wanted to know how to generate the .exe to send to my friends. What I had to do is change this to 'Release' and press F6. I added this so if someone with the same 'doubts' that I had can find the answer easly. Thanks!

Going to bin/Debug and using the DLL there is wrong.
Instead, build and copy the one from bin/Release.
If there's anything else inside the folder, though (except *.pdb), then beware. Your application might need those additional files. For example, the app.config.
Ben VoigtBen VoigtAll .NET applications are 'portable' as long as the machine you are running it on has the version of .NET you are targeting (or a compatible version). The key here is to make sure that your application does not depend on things that an installer would take care of for you to make your application work. Examples include: registered DLLs (like Interop assemblies), registry keys, or components that must be found in certain locations (such as having something stored in user's AppData folder).
JNYRangerJNYRangerAs long as the machine you want to run it on has .NET framework, you can make any .NET application portable. If the app you're making has no dependencies other than .NET then it's fully portable already. Even if it does have dependencies just include those with the executable.
AaronDancerAaronDancerTo expand on Zerkms's comment:
Every software is portable by default. Installers are a way of telling to program to search for resources in a certain place, meaning that if the place isn't there, eg: C:Windows then the program won't be able to run.
So as long as you have the application have the resources already within the exe or a root folder search (so where the program is, rather then where it should be) then you'll be fine.
Make Any Exe Portable
If you're using default controls, it should be fine as long as your software's running framework version is installed on the computer. If you're using 3rd party controls, you can emded the dll's into the .exe upon compiling. Do note that the more dll's you embed, the bigger the .exe file will be.
