Portable App Development

I have already done some fundamental statements in the past in my post Question regarding the registry on this topic. In this respect this post here represents only a supplement.

In this post I want consider the following code:

[Activate]
Registry=true

[RegistryKeys]
-=HKCU\Software\AppName

I'm using the latest edition of PortableApps Launcher and found this bug when developing Dolphin Emulator Portable. When I set "RunAsAdmin" as try (needed in Dolphin), the main executable Dolphin.exe gets the argument "UAC" passed to the program executable, in case of Dolphin, making the emulator won't open, only showing "unknow command line argument" message...

I analyzed in connection with the development of the portable version of the program Drago the switching of the language. Here I focused specifically on the case of the standalone version of the program. For better understanding I would first explain a few facts.

In the subfolder settings of the folder DefaultData I have inserted the file Drago.ini. In the section "Options" I have determined for the key "Language" the value "Hu" (Hungarian).

Subsequently briefly the content of the file DragoPortable.ini:

[Launch]
ProgramExecutable=Drago\Drago.exe

Hello, maybe I've posted in the wrong forum, but I've installed some beta/testing apps and I wonder if the updater in the platform can update those softwares located at : https://portableapps.com/development/test ?

Thank you, have a nice day.

Hello All
Sorry for my poor language, i m french.

I use lot of time Portable app Creator 0.99 but now the software can t work correctly

I see in this site, this soft is aborted.

I download the new software : portables.apps Launcher.

But i don t understand how is work ?

The other software, do all (install, register difference... and launcher)

but i can t see the same work for portables.apps Launcher.

According to the post NSIS How PortableApps Work require changes in the hive HKLM administrator rights. Does this mean that a program can not be made portable, when it creates registry entries in the hive HKLM?

I don't think this was posted before (brief search), but I want to know how PortableApps work before I get started, and not just the really general stuff. First, I saw some other guide online, and it says that a portable launcher runs the program, and then copies all it's user data back to the PortableApps directory. I don't know if this is true, or if PortableApps virtualizes everything like ThinApp.

Looking for some guidance - I'm trying to create a portable version of an app that creates its own subfolder in "My Documents". My understanding of the documentation for the launcher is that I should be able to use the FolderMove to move this subfolder back and forth from the PortableApps drive but I'm not clear as to the best location for the files on the drive.

Does the folder need to be under the "Data" folder to comply with the PortableApps specification, or can I move it from the PortableApps Documents folder to "My Documents" when launching the app and back again afterwards?

(I posted this idea on the Test Releases page, but I thought I'd formalize it in a post.)

There are so many applications that seem to have ceased development or have disappeared from the PA.c landscape that are sitting on the Test Releases page. Some of the applications that seem to have gone kablooey still seem like they would be valuable to be continued, or have people who would like to see them continued. I have also seen some applications where the original developers don't have the time to (or want to put the effort into) maintaining and updating releases.

Is it possible to paste *.dll files in the system folder system32 of the Windows OS by the usage of the following code:

[FilesMove]
xyz.dll=C:\Windows\system32

Or will this intention eventually prohibited through administrator privileges?
