Lugaru Portable

I'm not sure if anyone has figured this out yet, but Lugaru is completely portable if you move the files it installs to C:\Windows\system32 into the main Lugaru folder. Here's how to make Lugaru Portable so you can run it straight off your USB drive:
You will need the Inno Setup Unpacker, since the Lugaru setup was created with Inno.
http://innounp.sourceforge.net/
You will also need the Lugaru installer
Once you download and extract the inno setup unpacker, move the Lugaru setup into the same folder as innounp
Now it's time to extract all the files from the Lugaru installer. Open up a Cmd window and change directory into the innounp folder. Then type the following command:
A few files and folders should be created but the only two things that matter are the {sys} and {app} folders. Move everything from the {sys} folder into the root of the {app} folder. You should now have 7 files and a "Data" folder in the root of the {app} folder. Now you're pretty much done!
You can rename the {app} folder something like LugaruPortable if you want. You can also delete the empty {sys} folder as well as all the other extra files that were extracted earlier.
I'm not sure if you can do something similar with the libraries in Linux and I have hardly ever used Mac OS so if anyone wants to try something similar on those Linux or Mac that would be great.
