Portable App Development

The PortableApps.com Installer is doing something pretty weird: every time it gets to 90% or so, it hangs. Here's what I managed to find out:
* Both 2.0.2 and 2.0 hang
* PAI only hangs when building one specific package - Double Commander. I was able to successfully build both Iron Portable and ToDo List Portable, which eliminates a general problem with PAI.

Hey again everyone. I'm getting the hang of pportable app development, but there are stll a few hurdles to get over. One of them it registering files, the un-registerng them when alls done. How do I do that???

Many thanks to all who have helped me in the past, I hope you aren't finding me annoying

I have read that i could make an app portable with an INI-file.
How can I do that?

Thanks

With Pandora.com radio's obtrusive commercials, I found that Last.FM was the superior player for my comfort. In addition, it also has the ability to "scrobble" from your music players such as iTunes, Windows Media Player, VLC, etc. that are installed on your C drive. This means that the Last.FM database is being updated even when you don't use their service, consequently a superior music genome project.

I am sure I am brain cramping with a syntax error but can not seem to copy from APPDATA to portable data file,

here is my launcher.ini file

I Have A Program Which I Want To Run
The Problem Is I Need To Change The Registry For The Program To Work.
My Problem Is That I Cant Change The Registry From Certain Computers.
Now Being A Fan Of Portable Apps I Thought That Maybe Portable Apps
May Offer Me A Solution.

I wanted to make Peerblock work with my portable apps platform and I thought I would look into making it myself. Peerblock already has a portable version (but it can't go into the platform) and doesn't appear to be written in Java or .NET so I thought this would at least be a little easier.

Is there documentation that lists all of the language variables for the PortableApps platform? The best I was able to find was Chris Morgan post in Language Environment Variables, but doesn't have all of the languages and it is more than a year old, so I wasn't sure if something had changed.

I'm working on Zekr Portable, and it requires the languages to be specified in a format similar to en_US, de_DE, fr_FR, etc. I don't now if that is readily available from the platform, or if I will have to parse it myself for the available languages.

As discussed yesterday in irc, the new PA.cInstaller 2.0 still has a problem for online installing to a path containing foreign characters.

One way to solve it was to run 7z.exe from $PLUGINSDIR, but this could potentially still give a problem if %USERPROFILE% contains foreign characters as well.

After some more investigation I found out that 7z.exe v9.14 beta also solves the problem. And, because this is not an issue for 99% of the users, probably it is better to wait for v9.14 to become stable and use that, before to change the installer script !
