Run any app off a USB drive?

[wonkotheinsane]

Hey, guys, do you have the experience of running your daily used apps off a USB drive?

Which is I am now trying to do. But I find that only portable apps can be run like that.

while some apps like MS office are not portably available. How can I do that?

Re: Run any app off a USB drive?

I think you can find office portable, just need to look in the right places.

You can try an app called "Thinstall" which is supposed to create a portable version from any program, that's how portable versions are made.

Here is the page for Thinstall

You can also try boxedapp, or file packer

Just stumbled upon <a herf="http://www.prayaya.com">Prayaya</a>. I installed prayaya on my USB drive and then installed MS Office 2003 suite on prayaya. It seems working very well on other computers.
