How to get the r30 modified version to work?

Submitted by bubbleman on August 12, 2008 - 3:37am

I hope this is the right forum. I have a portableappsmenur30.zip file with a really cool update to the PortableApps.com launcher. I believe it was written by a Mr. Haller. I really like the features. I can get it to run, but I cannot seem to make it autolaunch like the released version no matter what I try. Also there are some duplicate files in the zip, along with some others who share a name. Any advice would be appreciated, and yes, I am not a programmer. But I'm trying to learn at least enough to help you guys test.

Thanks, and thanks for a great site.

I'm going to compile the guidelines for testing each portable app for the Testing Team and I'm looking for group input. Basically, it'll be:

  1. Verify PortableApps.com Format followed with links to the Spec
  2. Verify no changes to local registry using Regshot (as admin, limited and guest user)
  3. Verify no files or directories left behind in APPDATA or Windows directories using Regshot or WinMerge (as admin, limited and guest user)

Okay, this is only my second theme, and it's somewhat complex, so please report any bugs or glitches, or suggestions you may have.
I'm a big mac fan (unfortunately I don't own one,) so I decided I could make one for myself. So, this theme is what I made. Use it with the XRX mod, and just place the unzipped Literally Mac folder in Data/Themes in your XRX dir.
Enjoy!

I've been recently working on a PAM theme that looks like a Mac. If you have any suggestions, bugs, or comments, please post, as this is my first theme.
I've tested it in the XRX Mod, v. 30. I might do one for Geek.Menu, but we'll see. Here's the download link:
