Portable Adobe Photoshop CS2 26 MB (Tutorial, Optimized and Re-Packaged)

I've been dabbling with portable applications this past month.And it's been great!

What Is A Portable App? portable - carried or moved with ease. app - a computer program like a web browser or word processor

A portable app is a computer program that you can carry around with you on a portable device and use on any Windows computer. When your USB flash drive, portable hard drive, iPod or other portable device is plugged in, you have access to your software and personal data just as you would on your own PC. And when you unplug, none of your personal data is left behind.

There is a lot of possibilities for this concept. I've been running all my apps on a external hard drive because I also work at home to finish some projects at the office. Yup, I love my work.

So, the question is, is it legal? Well most of the portable apps are freeware. For other licensed version , there is a way to do it.

Creating a legitimate, portable Adobe Photoshop & ImageReady CS2 is entirely possible! These are the steps found in a forum on portableapps .com

# Locate the directory that contains your Adobe Photoshop CS2 setup installation.

# Install Adobe Photoshop CS2, enter your serial registration, and activate the product.

# Create a new directory on your computer and copy the following necessary files for Adobe Photoshop CS2 & Adobe ImageReady CS2 to operate:

\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS2\ ->
ACE.dll
AdobeLM.dll
Adobelmsvc Installer.dll
AdobeUpdater.dll (generates error, program runs)
AdobeXMP.dll
agldt28l.dll
AGM.dll
asneu.dll
AXE8SharedExpat.dll
Bib.dll
BIBUtils.dll
CoolType.dll
epic_regs.dll (generates error, program runs, goodbye shortcuts)
FileInfo.dll (program runs, error on File>File Info)
libagluc28.dll
pdfsettings.dll
persresen_US.dll
Photoshop.dll
Plugin.dll
PSArt.dll
PSViews.dll
Tw10122.dat
VersionCue.dll
VersionCueUI.dll
\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS2\\Activation\(your language/country)\tw12216.dat
\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS2\\Required\*.*
\Documents & Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe Systems\Product licenses\B2B86000.dat

You may decided to keep certain folders; like for example "Plug-Ins", but it is not necessary for Photoshop CS2 or ImageReady CS2 to operate, and though some plugins will still appear to be available, they will cause no change to the image if selected. UPDATE: Using UPX v1.95 beta I was able to compress all EXEs and DLLs in the root directory and keep full functionality!
# Copy the minimum required registry entries by running "regedit".

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{236BB7C4-4419-42FD-0409-1E257A25E34D}]
"EPIC_ORG"="(your company or organisation you registered under)"
"EPIC_SERIAL"="(your serial registration number without dashes)"
"EPIC_NAME"="(the name you registered under)"

UPDATE: In total, this removes approximately 212 MB of unneeded materials and brings the installation down to approximately 26 MB!!!

At this point you can uninstall Adobe Photoshop/ImageReady CS2 and remove your license file. To run Photoshop or Imageready without installing the application, do the following (it's obvious):
# Copy the registry entries (EPIC_ORG, EPIC_SERIAL, EPIC_NAME) back to their appropriate place in your registry.

# Copy "B2B86000.dat" back to the directory \Documents & Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe Systems\Product licenses
# Locate the directory you copied your files to and launch either "Photoshop.exe" or "ImageReady.exe".
