Dear all,
may name is Claus and I would like to ask, its possible to install a Microsoft ".Net" environment and from Documentum the "DFC5.3 System" to PortableApps? Please let me know if this possible.
A other question are, when you have applications they will NOT asking, in which target folder you will install, in this case its possible to install this application to PortableApps too?....
Thanks a lot from
Claus

No it isn't possible to install the .NET framework to a USB drive and use it portably. It is too tied into your system.
What do you mean by "install"?
You can have any Application show up in the Menu by copying it inside a folder inside the X:/PortableApps folder. But that doesnt make it portable. It might still leave traces on the system you run it on.

There are around some portable apps wich come with all or maybe just a part of .NET framework files portabilized within the portable app, ~30 mb more though. Maybe it´s not a bad idea or as impossible as it sounds
like JavaPortable.
Every app I've seen with .NET was bundled illegally.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
could you convince microsoft to allow portable .NET? You can make a smiley face in your email to show them your good intentions and that your asking them so you can be legal.
They're making their own USB key app system :(...
That, and do you really think that they would be nice to a company that likes Firefox? Come on, you're smarter than this :P.

but maybe they could give permission to John so he could look at the code and make something similar to .NET. It could be called mock.NET and programs would think that its .NET and use it just like it normally would. I know it kind of sounds unrealistic but still, it can be possible. Smiley face still doesn't hurt
Ha ha. Not a chance. They're not interested in that. And also it is hooked in too much to the system; the only way you can get mostly around that (there will still be some rough edges due to the technique) is with really complicated, low-level hooking.

“A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” – Proverbs 15:1
Remember that all software is inherently portable. There is no reason for a program to not be. .NET is a platform that, for all its good intentions, ensures that apps which require it are not portable in any way, shape, or form -- well, unless you use them only on computers with .NET.
Microsoft should have made .NET an integral part of XP Service Pack 3, Vista Service Pack 1, and Windows 7, but they didn't, so that's their screwup.
Also:
Surely you've heard about the cake? Fifth paragraph. Microsoft doesn't really see Firefox as a threat, and hasn't really taken any militant action against Firefox or its users. There are little things, like blocking Firefox from Windows Update (which I understand is no longer a concern?) but no, Microsoft doesn't "hate" Mozilla, and I'm sure they have no problem whatsoever with PortableApps.com.
It's just a shame they don't open-source Internet Explorer. Just seems like the right thing to do. Mozilla's got the right idea. For that matter, they should open-source a bunch of stuff -- maybe not Windows and Office, their flagship products, but the little stuff that they want to spread around and have people work with. Like .NET, Silverlight, IE, etc..
