The portable apps may be run from Sandbox for added safety – that is, if you feel the need. Thus, sandbox is not as much reliable for running apps as portable apps. Registry entries may be made and some files may be stored to other file locations.

In this case, it is not necessary that the whole program will be isolated from the machine. Using Sandbox requires you to install the sandbox and then run the application. If you create a portable app on your machine using Cameyo, your machine’s attributes are applied to help the portable app run properly.Īlso remember to disable Windows Update and AV updates while creating a portable app using Cameyo because if you leave them running, they will be added to your portable program and will run each time you run the portable program created by Cameyo. Note that since Cameyo captures system configuration as well, it creates a virtual machine while executing the portable apps created using Cameyo. It extracts information related to the program or program set installed and creates a portable app out of it. When you install Opera, Flash and then Java, it records what all files are being created and then takes another snapshot of the computer. It first takes a snapshot of your computer. For example, if you wish to install Opera with Java and Flash (See the embedded Video below), open Cameyo and click Capture Installation.Ĭameyo will be running in a corner of your desktop to capture all the files and registry entries created. You have to reinstall the programs if you wish to make a portable app out of them. Please note that Cameyo cannot create portable apps for programs already installed. All this is captured by Cameyo and you get one single executable instead of a bunch of files and entries into Registry so that you can fire up the portable app from any computer where you want to work or need the program. The portable programs may look a bit bulky than the regular installed peers, but then the installation has many aspects: writing files to different folders (Program Files Common Files System32 and more) plus to the Windows Registry. As said earlier, Cameyo creates portable versions of almost any program.
