KillMenu W/ Built-in Theme Swicher

I'm still kinda new to programming, but this is a program I've been playing around with for a while and I almost got all the bugs out. It is designed to kill the first process of P.A.M., Install a new theme, and then open a new process! I think this is what a lot of people want, but it is still in the early beta stage.

If you want your themes to be included post them in NSIS format (zip2exe works for sure).

Things left to finalize:

Closing the first process of P.A.M. (the kill process script is included, but doesn't compile into my program)

WackGet Portable 1.2.3 Pre-Release 1 (Testers Needed)

NOTE: This app will not be officially released as it doesn't work on Windows Vista (and probably later systems). Please use the officially-released WinWGet Portable instead:
https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/winwget_portable

I've just posted a pre-release of WackGet Portable. WackGet is a simple download manager that maintains a list of files to download and downloads them in order. MillWeed, the group that originally created this, has disappeared, but another open source group released a new version that fixed the only major outstanding bug (downloading large files failing).

Final version released. Topic locked.
https://portableapps.com/apps/development/xampp

Since there was some interest in my quick XAMPP Launcher Test, I've decided to improve it and post it on the XAMPP page here. As part of that, I've enhanced it to support multiple install locations and packaged it in a PortableApps.com Installer. It will now support the following install locations and search them in this order:

X:\XAMPP
X:\XAMPPLite
..\App\XAMPP (relative to the launcher)

I've posted a test release of ZSNES Portable. ZSNES is the best SNES/Super Famicom emulator out there and the portable version is configured to automatically support ROMs, game saves, etc within its own directory. Settings, game saves, etc are kept in the Data directory (for easy backup) and ROMs and graphics are kept in the App directory. You can just take your existing SNES ROMs and drop them into ZSNESPortable\App\roms and they'll work. The launcher sets up the proper paths for ZSNES on each launch.

Okay I made a Pre-release of my suite's Ultimate Edition.

Here's what's new:

Packaged with a PortableApps Installer!-When you install be sure to redirect it directly to the PortableApps folder (not a subfolder within the PortableApps folder)
Added lots of new games! (Yipee!)
Added ConveyPortable

TODO:

Improve PortableAppsInstaller- Make it so it does not install the suite in a seperate folder within the PortableApps folder.
Finish the Support App (Sumatra PDF+AutoIT Script made to launch a PDF containing actual and useful support and help)!

PortableApps.com Installer - Only GPL

Submitted by Patrick Patience on July 11, 2007 - 3:12am

So, I can't use the PortableApps.com Installer for TTCalc Portable since TTCalc is under the BSD License?

John, you told me how Creative Commons and GPL don't mix, is it the same thing with BSD and GPL, and even if not, you're only allowing it to be used for GPL'd apps, unless distributed with you? I think that's what I understand.

I don't get it, why? TTCalc is still open-source, you wrote the PortableApps.com Installer, why can't is be used for more than GPL? I don't get it...
