with in thes pages is sum intresting views on microsoft/powershell
and methods used to create portable aplications

however no more than a discution of free methods
this priceles quote from the coments on part 2
is the most informative on documenting the methods used

'' Such a long article for nothing. 2 word version: “use thinstall” ''

eather way enjoy

You are right - that guy puts on a big show for nothing.
For the price of thinstall you can buy a notebook and dedicate it to run powershell - then you also have a portable app

Aside from that - it is really possible to run powershell 1 on top of PE.
I was able to achieve this for my MOA-builds with install-rite

sadly both way out of my means for now ...

i'v have plans for sumtime to build and play about with moa ,
and do remember seeing some of ur dot net .img loading around 911 a while back
goodstuff!!

iv just got around to using vmware to do alittle 'aplication-profileing', looks like
moa and power shell will be nexed up.

its ashame that the artical was all talk and no action
some of the techniques sounded intresting

I don't think that the way I load dotnet2 on demand is limited to MOA-builds.
You just need a PE that is not too naked - so that it has msi-installer working.
You also need vcredist2005 - but this can be loaded on demand as well

[rawr]

very true i geus the 'load on demand ' method can work many places depending on the needs ...


myinterest in building moa is ofcorse vmware spesificly usb-device access

mainly to isolate in a less sophisticated but simler method to this

the basic idear being usb-wifi within vm
so the host/hw is not networked but vm is via wifi

[sanbarrow]

Have you tried the winbuilder moa-lite project ?

thats a wizard that creates a package including dotnet2 and powershell so that you can load it on demand
