Cam H Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I have been doing research for the past few days on running google earth from my USB flashdrive but have been unsuccessful. I was wondering if this is infact, possible? And if so, how? Thank you. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroBeat Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 If everything fails vmware has released some software for virtualizing applications, you could try that? would give it a try myself but would take days to download google earth on this connection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 http://www.vmware.com/products/thinapp/ I don't have 5 grand though. I'll stick with manually creating portable apps. In Google Earth, if you can find all the dll files it uses and copy them + the google earth folder to a USB drive, you may be able to get it to run from a thumbdrive itself. Its a common practice for making apps portable, is that if you copy all the dll files from windows system folder to the main apps folder, the app often run from the folder the app resides in. In the case of Google Earth, I never tried it, but I have done it with things like Wireshark and Cain with no problems, so I see no reason you can't do it with Google Earth.

DingleBerries Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Usually if you want to make a portable, not so much, application you would: Install App. Copy all the files to a different folder Check for missing dlls and what not copy dlls into said new folder run exe and see if it works, if no then forget about it no reason to have it anyways OR Open installer with 7zip/WinRar Copy ALL files to new folder Use common sense/knowledge to know which files you need Run the extracted exe. You can usually extract dlls from the installer also that can be used in method 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
