LaTeX -. TexUSB apps

Maybe someone can make it better?

I tried some portable Miktex distributions, but I have had difficultities to update MikTex. Now I have learned a little bit programming with NSIS and add a traymenu written in assembler.

• download (and editors):
• Here you can download a PortableMikTex-Package
  http://rapidshare.com/files/147510009/PortableMikTex.paf.exe.html for testing. Specify only the drive.
• It's easy to use with Winshell. http://www.winshell.org
  [ # Portable WinShell (use WinShell on eg USB flash drive)
  HowTo: Just create a directory named 'Settings' in the WinShell.exe directory.]
• TexnicCenter and Led are not my favourites to build as PortableApp - I look for something which standalone (not in the MikTex- path) and easy to update, ...
• Texmaker is portable http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/download.html
  links in optionsmenu look like ..\PortableMiKTeX\Appdata\miktex\bin\latex
• Excuse me, you miss the englisch traymenu http://rapidshare.com/files/147664060/TrayMenue.exe.html
• known problems:
• if update stuck, cancel, try it ones more -> problems with download
• after I launch miktex from PortableAppsMenu and call Yap from the traymenu --- I get a Miktex Problem Report "Cannot find modes.mf." --- I don't know why?
  -> execute D:\PortableApps\PortableMiKTeX\PortableMiKTeX.exe from start->run or from it's folder on the stick. (perhaps only on my computer?)

best regards
