But to actually make an app people use daily and appreciate, that's gotta be awesome. I write articles on wikiHow and edit others, and I try to help here, as I'm a big fan of both projects, and even that little bit is rewarding. But it's still a difficult and time-consuming process. It's easier than it was a year ago, thanks in a large part to that generic launcher. Once it's done, you can zip it up (sans the contents of the Vuze folder) and distribute it, I believe, and then you'd instruct the end-user how to get Vuze in it. If it's not, what makes it "unclean" is what you'll have to sandbox, I believe. Run RegShot again, have it compare to the first snapshot, and then post the log here (use pre and /pre tags to contain it in a codebox) and folks will tell you if it's clean or not. Then what you do is, you uninstall Vuze (won't remove the copy in the launcher), make sure every trace of it is gone, and then you get a program called RegShot. It's not a walk in the park, but it isn't terribly hard, either, but it can sandbox both files and registry entries to make many apps portable. Go back two levels to VuzePortable, rename the launcher, and edit the. Install Vuze, and copy its program folder to the VuzePortable\App\Vuze folder. Inside there, inside the App folder, you rename AppName (a folder) to Vuze. You install his launcher to a folder, you call it VuzePortable. Head over to the Beta Testing forum for it. I know virtually nothing about coding, but with some basic skills, you can use Chris Morgan's generic launcher. Almost all of my apps are portable, from here, so it's a real easy transition. At home however, the second my computer gets out of line, its hard drive gets erased, and Windows reinstalled. This particular terminal doesn't let me access certain websites (only a few I care to) but since its owner pays me, I don't complain. My computer doesn't tell me what to do I tell it what to do. The powers that be here say that the site will eventually encompass freeware and that these live installers are the next big thing here, so who knows, a year or two from now your launcher might be the one people use.? Good luck on your Vuze launcher/live installer, if you go that route. And that's what makes a well-formed opinion: one's preference based on what works for one. (I have Portable Firefox at home, and don't know how to make it default in Windows.) So I search using Firefox using a search box plugin. But IE is my default browser, so I don't use that feature. And it is portable right out of the box, if you set it to use directories relative to its directory. You can search in uTorrent as well, but it calls the default web browser. and then voila, your end-user has a portable version of Vuze.Īs for my opinion, I haven't used Vuze since it was called Azureus, and I can't remember what I disliked about it, but since switching to uTorrent I have not looked back. What you can do, however - and I'm not up on all the details - is obtain the latest copy of the Format and Installer (should be on the Applications page?) and set it up to where Vuze itself is not included (as that would be a license violation) but rather, it automatically downloads it, unpacks the installer to the appropriate directory. Vuze has an open source "core" but the "platform" is proprietary, according to Wikipedia, so you cannot legally redistribute it, unless you have permission from the authors.
