Enigma Virtual Box
What it is
Enigma Virtual Box is a free Windows utility that combines an application's files and registry into one executable, for creating portable applications. It supports x86 32-bit and x64 64-bit binaries, including EXE, DLL, and OCX formats. The tool can virtualize DLLs, ActiveX/COM objects, media, and text files. File operations are emulated in process memory, so temporary files are not extracted to the hard drive; virtual files can also be compressed to reduce the application's total size. ActiveX/COM components can be registered without administrator privileges. The maker says users do not need to change source code: select the main executable, add files or directories, then process them. The download page lists version 11.30 as freeware, and the product page lists Windows 2000 through Windows 11. The maker cautions that Virtual Box does not sufficiently protect virtualized files and recommends Enigma Protector for that purpose. Support is available through the maker's forum or the [email protected] email address.
