Portable App Development

Any chance of getting a Winamp Portable?

Hi

I'm writing an application which needs 7-Zip. Currently I have the path to the executable I need kind of hard coded (which means it is environment variable send to Java using -D option.

But since not everyone are familiar with changing the path is it possible to detect location of the 7-Zip during starting the application? Is there any 'repository' where there are data about all installed applications (name,directory etc.)?

This is a suggestion for future versions of PAM and I recognize that most users won't run into this situation. I am currently using the R30 variant and it is working well. I also use one of two pagers to enable linux-like multiple virtual screens on WinXP. The two I use are AltDesk (proprietary) and VirtuaWin (GPL). Both have portable versions as well. If you set the 'Stay Visible' option on R30, the menu stays up on all of the virtual screens.

Oops, I did it again!

Yeah the only roadblock in making MoinMoinDE Portable is the wiki folder in Data\settings folder is not being moved back to App\moinmoin when MoinMoinDE is closed after the 1st run it moves the wiki folder to the Data\settings folder but 2nd run and so forth the launcher is not moving the wiki folder from Data\settings back to App\moinmoin

The wiki folder has 3 sub-directories

Heres the .nsi:

Jwyanze here.
my first attempt to create a portable app. Unfortunately i am not provide u with the program due to licensing reasons.

Well here is what i did.
i used universal extractor to extract the files from the installer.
seems to work with out actually installing after. but when i open the .exe to start it, it rites to doc/set the appinfo what i am asking is how to redirect that directory to a folder contained within my flasdrive.

Hello all
I own Microsoft Money 2006. How (or is it possible) would I go about creating a portable version of this app.
Thanks

Yeah a bit ago I tried to portablize MoinMoin but after the 1st time I launched it it would not work, I believe this to occur because moin.exe is executed before the launcher moves all the data files back to App\moinmoin

Any suggestions?

Hi

I'm writing a Comic Book files reader (Java-Comix) and I have prepared portable version of it (unfortunately only manual installation is required) - soon it will be available from source forge page (I mean the portable version).

But back to the question - how to add a new shortcut to a folder from the USB drive to the menu (like there are Documents, Music, Pictures, Video...)?

I want to have a "Comic books" option there. It would be fallowing path: Documents\Comix

Is it possible to extend that menu?

Thanks in advance,
Wrobel-Cwirek
