Then you could simply purchase a copy and go. The best bet (at least for public discussion) is for the WinMount folks to distribute their software in a virtualized format, so it doesn't need Admin to install or run. I suspect that ThinApp can virtualize an environment that includes Services and Drivers that you can run on a machine where you have limited privileges, but again, if either the ThinApp or WinMount folks heard about it and decided it violates their license, it would be a big hassle. It requires Admin to set up, at least (so it would not be very portable unless you have Admin privileges wherever you go). Setting that up is not for the faint of heart and doing it portably is even more of a challenge.

WinMount looks like it would need to install a driver or service in order to mount a file as a virtual filesystem. So we would probably not want to discuss it in public, just to avoid the hassle. It probably violates WinMount's license (at least how they perceive their license) to do it with ThinApp, even if you purchased both. But it is not impossible.ĭoing it to a proprietary program like WinMount probably violates its license, even if you roll your own virtualizer.

Generally the more dependencies the app requires that aren't contained in its own folder then the more likely something will be missed or broken in the. then there is no hard and fast rule as to what can and cannot be made (completely) portable. Creating a virtualized environment like Xenocode or ThinApp is a bit more complicated than making a portable app. If you are specifically talking about apps made portable with technology such as Cameyo, ThinApp etc.
