installers make very few, if any, changes to the registry. Installers for non-portable apps might do things like register DLL files and make changes to the registry and stuff like that. installers do this (extracts binaries and all related dependencies to a location of our choosing). Windows installers basically run scripts that extract the files from the installer and put them in their appropriate places on the Windows system. I was thinking that Mac OS X *.app files operate on similar principles to Windows app installers. That's all I have right now hope someone else is interested in this. I can say that 2 beta 4 has been working flawlessly for me I am currently testing out all the portableApps I have on my drive. Ok so first off I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and I use WineBottler 1.1.35 (intel only) ( This is the first time I've ever used Wine so I like it to be easy) this may not be the best way to run Wine on OS X and there are other ways just try google or Winehq for more info. So I thought I'd start a thread incase anybody else was interested and also so any Q & A or info could be easily found and shared in one place.

Hi all I did a search and although I found lots of topics to do with Wine and a few sporadic posts about using Platform/Apps with Mac OS X.
