8.1 PickMeApp Light Overview

PickMeApp Light focuses on one task: turn a supported application already installed on your PC into a standalone, self-extracting installation package. Save the setup EXE and reuse it to install the application on another PC, on multiple PCs, or again on your own computer.

I want to take my application to another PC

Keep using an application you already have, even when you no longer have its original installer. Capture it with Light, take the resulting setup file to the other computer, and run it there.

Read how to capture an installed application.

I want an installer I can keep and reuse

Your capture becomes a self-extracting EXE, rather than a file you can only open inside PickMeApp. Copy it to a USB drive or another storage location and run it when you need to install the application. PickMeApp does not need to be installed on the destination PC.

Learn about self-extracting setup packages.

I need the same application on several computers

Reuse the captured setup package on each destination PC instead of capturing the same application again for every computer. Each run of the package installs the captured application on that PC.

Read about running captured installation packages.

I want a backup for reinstalling my application later

Keep the captured installer as a backup of the application's installation. When you need to reinstall the application on your own PC or set it up on a replacement computer, you have a package ready to use.

Read about capturing an application for backup.

I want a simple, focused capture workflow

Light captures one application at a time and creates its setup package. Repeat the capture for other applications you want to keep. The overview gets you started; the linked sections of the main PickMeApp Pro manual explain capture settings and installation in detail.
