Portable App Development

I was just testing https://portableapps.com/node/38992 which moves the user folder to app folder on launch. For some reason, the Data\user directory is currently locked and can't be deleted/moved/renamed. The result was that an empty App\SciTE\user directory was created, then when the app ran, it put some default files in that directory.

Hi,
I am portabalizing a Java IDE, IntelliJ IDEA, which has 32-bit and 64-bit executable, but which require a 32-bit or 64-bit JDK to run them respectively (a cut down version is bundled with the program). So wanted to know if I should include both, or just limit it to one type to save space.

Hi,
I need to move a certain folder when the program is running on a 32-bit system and a different folder when on 64-bit system. Lets call them folder_32 & folder_64 respectively.

Hello all,

I have recently started with PAF development and quickly stumbled upon this problem after my first 10 or so portables.
Please note that I do not use the launcher and ini files, I write straight NSI scripts.

The problem happens with a game which has 2 exes A and B. A acts as a launcher that launches B and then exits. The game does not allow you to start immediately from B. If you try, you get an error message indicating that you should start the game by double clicking A.exe.

I guess you can see the problem.

Of each or all "Data section".

Did it have an alternate way to do that, until portableapps.com interface will do that ?

Hi,
I need to set a variable which will be used in a current run of the program but which will be set from information generated by the preceding run of the program. I know I need to use Custom.nsh in order to do that, but I need some help with it.
Thank you in advance.

Hello,

I want to make Google Chrome really Portable (there is a known issue) by adding the moving files action in the launcher INI, i.e.

[DirectoriesMove]
profile="%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data"

but if the copying process is very long, is there a way to inform the users with a wait message?

Thanks
