In windows based phones and computers, We can download .exe setup files of an application or game and then install it into our devices.
Here, exe files remain as a backup even after installation.

So, it make difficult for the users to transfer the application offline via Bluetooth or any other sharing method.

But still you can transfer the apps and games among your beloved friends mobile phones.
