Hi all, I have some programs installed in my Windows 7 X 64 bit and a program and software which i have installed from other user. I want to know a method or a way so that i can store that program in my pendrive or other secondary storage device, so that i won't need to reinstall it again. I am not asking for backup or recovery of all programs or making them portable in pendrive.
I want to store that software as a whole in my pendrive so that I can access it from anywhere and i can use it in other computers without reinstalling it.

Because of drivers and Windows settings (including the registry) ..you cannot install software from System 1 to System 2 or any other...without restoring a backup of the entire operating system files or a direct reinstall of the software on System 2 or any other system.

The only way that will work is if you create a portable version from the installed program which isn't always 100%. See the below link for info.

It means that, when I migrate an app from one system to another, I also migrate the possible problems it has.
Some apps during installation, checks our hardware and set how it work. If I migrate those to a new PC, it may not see the hardware changes, and I risk making apps not taking advantage of our new hardware.
Is it better to install fresh copy of Easeus PC Trans s/w, and experimenting with it for the same.

From your posts it seems you want to transfer programs from one computer to a newer computer with different hardware. Easeus PC Trans would work. I'm not sure how it deals with programs licenses.
The only other program similar to Easeus it PC Mover by LapLink but it isn't free.

Sorry, I don't have enough experience with Virtual Machines to answer your question. Hopefully someone else can comment.
I know of Aomei Backupper which I have used but I don't know what you mean when you say "creating image of live windows install with diam". Aomei Backupper can create an image of a live Windows session.
