RapidSVN Portable Beta-0.5 (Testers needed and splash screen creators wanted).

Ok here is my 1st attempt of a portable app with an NSIS Launcher! The launcher is based off of John's Miranda Portable Launcher. I already know that this leaves nothing in the Registry but for some reason it won't export the keys. When I compiled it it said that the Registry Backup Label was not used. So long story short it cannot yet retain its settings, but it won't leaving any keys in the Registry though. I am not talented with NSIS.

Also anyone who is talented at making splashes please let me know cause I need a splash screen creator (I am not careful with the mouse and I don't have Photoshop, I am not talented with the GIMP and I'm not spending $800 on Photoshop (Adobes like the M$ of multimedia) and I no nothing about computer art (well almost nothing.

Now RapidSVN is an SVN app that is quite easy to use. It is infact my favorite non-KDE SVN client.

(May take a few mins to hit all the servers)

Edit: Installer Issue Resolved, RapidSVN Portable will be fully pafed when I fix the current issue with the data not being saved.

If anyone could look at the .nsi file of the launcher and help me fix it.

OK

Ill test it.
Where did you have problems compiling the installer?
You should:

  • put the 3 folder (App, Data and Other) in a folder called "files".
  • edit one of John installers to fit your App
  • Run one installer but dont press any buttons and copy the wizard.bmp from your temp folder to the same folder the "files" folder is in.
  • copy your installer.nsi from /Other portablesource/ to the same folder the "files" folder is in.
  • run installer.nsi

This is the error 
!include: error in script: "F:\PortableApps\NSISPortable\App\NSIS\Contrib\Modern UI\Language files\English.nsh" on line 4
Error in macro MUI_LANGUAGE on macroline 5

This error does not occur when the language is set to "Default" but then the bitmap won't display when the installer is launched, plus many other errors occur. Is there any way to fix this?

Could someone tell me how it everything should be organized. Since it has been awile since I have been compiling these (and all those have been successful on Win-2K) and I have a rotten memory.

Ok.

Sounds like the bitmap error.

Assuming you're using John's installer.

The bitmap image should be 164 x 314 pixels, and called "wizard.bmp", it is placed in the same directory as Installer.nsi. Also in the SAME directory is a folder called "files", within that is "App" "Data" "Other" and your exe, it should compile now. Make sure "files\App\appinfo\appicon.ico" exists as well.

Error still occurs

And everything as u described is true and I am using John's installer.
In the mean time I will make a Google Earth Portable Launcher.
I don't know why this does not happen on 2K.

When you get a second.

Zip up the whole directory layout you're compiling in with ALL its files and give me a link please.

Thanks.

Haha, without changing a think I compiled it and it worked perfectly. Here, I thru my bitmap image in thereinstead only because the PortableApps.com one is trademarked. Maybe try with a clean install of NSIS Portable, cause I'm using NSIS Portable and it worked fine.

I made the wizard.bmp image,

I made the wizard.bmp image, and I made a template for his splashes. Patrick adds each application's icon and changes the text in the splash himself.

Apache mod_dav_svn mod_authz_svn

Hello, I'm testing and I found one problem when I try to checkout new working copy from a secure repository (you need permission to read), it doesn't ask for password and automatically says access forbidden.

I haven't tried it in svnserve yet, but i guess will be the same.
