Introduction:Often, somebody will make a post asking for help. I wrote up a guide real quick for this poster, here. After a suggestion by r-andom, I re-posted as a forum topic. If you have a suggestion for the guide, post here. If you need help portablizing, make a new post in the Portable App Development Forum. So, without much more text, I loose the gorilla. . .

If you've created an app that is currently posted as a Development Test and the following apply:

Forum Guidelines (Portable App Development)![]() John T. Haller (Homepage)

The portable app development forum is for all development discussion related to portable apps. Feel free to ask questions on adapting the standard PortableApps NSIS-based launchers used with Portable Firefox, etc with other apps. Or with help working on any portable development project you wish. You'll find more portable apps developers here than anywhere else, so, for most questions, either someone will know outright or at least be able to point you in the right direction. ( categories: )

Use of the PortableApps.com AppCompactortapsklaps - February 9, 2012 - 11:16am
I've thought again about using of the PortableApps.com AppCompactor. My question concerns the exact time using this program. Should PortableApps.com AppCompactor primarily used then, after a portable program is installed on an USB flash drive? Or is it also conceivable, that this program can be applied after using the PortableApps.com launcher but before using the PortableApps.com Installer? ( categories: )
Mozilla Firefox ESR, Portable Editionmalakai1911 - February 8, 2012 - 9:39pm
I hope this is the correct place for this. I've repackaged the Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition version 10 installer with the changes necessary for the ESR release. The installer is identical to the standard Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition (Version 10.0) available on portableapps.com with the exception of the following changes: I hope someone can find this useful.

How does one create an installer that will guarantee that no matter where a user chooses to save file to the files do not get removed during installation of a new build? ( categories: )

Portablied version of program crashes, normal doesn't.Bennieboj - February 6, 2012 - 3:54am
Hi everyone, I wanted to make a portable version of a game, for personal use only, since I bought the game myself. (Is this allowed?) Now i wanted to make this little game portable. I made the *gamenameportable*launcher.ini. (As you can see I left out the name of the game, I wasn't sure if I was allowed to do this in the first place.) [Launch] AppName=*gamename*Portable ProgramExecutable=*gamename*\*gamename*.exe LaunchAppAfterSplash=true ( categories: )
Patch for PAIIn response to the issue raised here, regarding the installer deleting the App\AppName directory when downloading a file is unsuccessful, I decided to see if I could patch it. I think I might have managed to get it to work. Please test extensively. I have tested with a few different scenarios, and my computer hasn't blown up yet, so that's a good sign. With that said, I'm not sure if this has caused any other issues. John, in particular, since this is your app, please verify if this does indeed work without causing further harm. ( categories: )
