Portable App Development

Important: you probably shouldn't use this script. If a program uses the native Windows file selection windows (open/save), they will break with APPDATACOMPLEXREDIRECT, and if a program spawns other programs, you should not redirect APPDATA at all. However, for something simple and straightforward like a game which never spawns any other processes and has no native dialogues or anything like that, you're probably safe to use this script for simple redirection, or for simplicity's sake, just this one line:

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is a application that can check for new versions of portable apps installed on our media.

If there is one, would someone please give me the name of the application?

It's quite a hassle going through all my apps and finding if there are updates available for them.

Cheers

Hello @all,
OpenOffice.org 3.0.1 is behind the door and - of course - the portable version too

We have now languagepacks and the imagepack as real plugins with version check.
I'm thinking about removing python too an put it to an plugin, cause 90 percent of the users never use it (saves ~11 MB installed space and ~4MB in the package).

try this out give me some feedback

Hello, PortableApps Community

Recently I have been trying to make the Instant messenger Xfire ( http://xfire.com ) because a few of my friends have been wanting it for traveling, etc.

I have compressed it pretty well, everything is done, except the installer (I need to add Plugin, and multilingual support to it) and making it so that Xfire leaves no trace on the computer it is run from (It leaves files, such as chatlogs in
C:\ProgramData\Xfire\
and
C:\Users\%CURRENTUSER%\AppData\Roaming\Xfire

Hello, I'm new to making Portable Apps. Im trying out many methods. But recently i made a game (Not going to post here do it not being Open Source, and used ThinApp to make it). I made the app using a virtual machine 100% clean. Ok, after that i took a reg shot on my main PC, then ran the program, then closed it. Then took another regshot. After that i got no keys added, but like 4 values added. Should i worry about them, or leave them alone?

I will try to up load the values that were added.

Thank You

I've downloaded WiresharkPortable install file. How do I get this on my USB stick so that Portable Apps sees it and I'm able to use it?

Hi there

I'm responsible for the creation of the Strawberry Perl distribution ( http://strawberryperl.com/ ) and for three months during 2008 I was funded by the Perl Foundation to natively implement Portability into Perl.

I'm happy to report that (a few beta bugs notwithstanding) it was a complete success. But now I've got a bit of a problem when it comes to doing the portableapps.com packaging...

Most school networks block access to the system tray on their computers (you don't even see it) so you can't click on an already running PAM icon to see it. Also it's a hassle to find the root folder of your USB device to double click on "Start PortableApps".

Can we implement (by we I mean you all:-P) a feature like U3's where there a little live button sitting on your desktop that you are able to click to open your running PAM?

Just so you know, your menu works great, and also I have the edit that changes how it looks and so on...
