The program I wish to install is {The Glary Utilities}, so I go to my computer and look for the file named {gusetupnew261.exe} and right click on it, then I choose {UniExtract Files...}

Step 2:

At the {Destination directory:} I choose my USB drive which is J:\ and I wish to install the program into a folder call J:\Gary Utilities. The next thing I do is click at the {OK} button.

Once I clicked at the {OK} button, the following screen will appear, as you can see that it is actually {Extracting files from: Inno Setup installer}. Wait until it finish, the screen will disappear.

To run the program, go to the USB drive, inside the {Glary Utilities} folder, look for a subfolder named {app}.

Inside {app} folder, look for the program's exe file to start, the start program for Glary Utilities is {Integrator.exe}, double on {Integrator.exe} to run the program.
