PortableApps.com Installer 0.11.0 Pre-Release 1 (Need Developers to Test)

I will check this out.

This is AWESOME! Thanks sooooooooooooooooo much John this will be perfect... Maybe I can update my launchers with this

Sorry not a dev but that idea caught my eye? Would that mean I could put in say the EXE file for RedNoteBook and have it generate a portable version of it? If its a little more complicated than that but the general idea is right could you please explain. I ask as there are a number of softwares/freewares I would like to see portable, eg RedNoteBook & XnView

I tried this on my stickies Portable launcher and I got this error:

Error - aborting creation process

Does this new installer let the user only install a certain language to the target media?

i.e.: If the installer has 10 languages in it for the app being installed, and you pick LangX during the extraction/install process, only LangX will end up on the target media thereby saving space.

EDIT: answering my own question with the Toucan sample proggy...

The installer doesn't take the user's input into account and dumps ALL language files for the app onto the target media.

The feature described above needs to be on the radar for one of the next enhancements. Another enhancement could be to "languagize" the help file since they're all in English right now (that would be more work for devs...I get that).

SWEET! Thanks, I will test this out! :DD
