How to make GUI portable/runnable from USB flash drive?

Post by pstein »

I want to use AES Crypt GUI in a portable mode.

Therefore I installed AES Crypt 64bit on a USB flash drive.
When I start it on another computer then nothing can be started.

I guess its because of the missing Windows Explorer context menu entry.

Other tools offer a dynamic on-the-fly registering/un-registering of such DLLs for the Windows Explorer context menu.

Is this possible for AES Crypt as well?

Maybe you could provide a corresponding *.bat batch script

Thank you
Peter

The GUI version must be installed on the machine to use it. The command-line version should work from aUSB drive, as it doesn't integrate with the Windows shell.
