Dear all expert programmer,
I want to copy my application (.exe file) into flashdrive and run if from flashdrive without install. Please tell me how to make it to portable application.
And.....
I'm working in a remote underwater vehicle and I need to find the way to hook up a camera to the PI. The problem that I have is the longest ribbon cable for the camera that I can find is 2 meters long. Not enough for what I need. Probably close to 20. There is something for the pi I can connect composite video in? Anybody tried to connect a long cable to the camera?
Thank you for all your answers.

Re: How to make portable application?
First thing you gotta do is find out what changes are made to the system with a fresh install of the program on a machine that has never had the program installed to it before. This includes new files/folders added, registry changes, etc. You also have to make note of what changes are made when you use the program. If the program installs drivers or starts background services you might have problems.
If you are aware of all these changes to the system, PortableApps format has proven to be the most reliable.
You just have to keep up with new changes introduced with program updates.

Another portablizing program http://www.boxedapp.com (untested) ... I'm unclear about the license as to whether there's a free option or if it's entirely for-pay. Softpedia and BetaNews refer to it as shareware: https://www.softpedia.com/get/Programmi ... -SDK.shtml / https://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/B ... 07056666/1 and note that it hasn't been updated in almost a decade.
