Portable App Development

I'm not sure how widespread this issue may be, so I thought I would just throw the idea/issue out there and see whether anyone thinks it is worth spending time on.

Basically the problem is that Java apps will break if they require Java 7 but jPortable 6 is installed, even when a local install of Java 7 exists.

OK, I'm trying to do an old version of Serv-U FTP server. ServU6Portable.ini is set to write the paths to the serv-u ini. Something like:

[FileWrite3]
File=%PAL:AppDir%\ServU6Portable\ServUDaemon.ini
Type=ConfigWrite
Entry=Access1=
Value=%PAL:DataDir%\FTP|RL

and it works fine normally, but if I compress the whole package as an SFX Rar set to execute the PA launcher, the paths get written with DOS names, like:

Access1=C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\Temp\RarSFX0\Data\FTP|RL

and this causes access to be stopped.

Hi everyone, i have a question about the use of the compactor app...
I often use it with my apps, but i was wondering what happens when a compacted applications gets an update from te portableapps site...

Do the "compression" get lost?
I think this cause the "update" (if i'm not wrong) it's a new installation over the old one, so probably the new files will be uncompressed.
Am i wrong?

Hi.

Is it possible to create a RAM Disc for portable apps so the Apps are loaded and kept in this disc?

I'd like to point to a portable version of Opera:
Google search: "Kejut Opera"

This version creates a Ram disc, and runs from there.
After closing the files are stored on the USB Stick again.

I find this much easier to work with and:
This Ram disc does not need Admin Rights.

I'm trying to make EarMaster school portable. But I don't know how to setting for registry in the 'applaunch.ini' file. I have already read manual and some tutorial but it seems useless for me. Any one please give me some guides! Thanks all. Here is the registry change:

Hi to all,
I try to compile Open MPI with cygwin after non successes with mingw,
I download cygwin with cmake (it not with default download).
and i try to compile openmpi with it.
i configure (with windows variable) that i can use cmake (and other linux command of cygwin) with cmd.
I open cmd i push this command:
C:\cygwin>cmake openmpi-1.4.5

and it give me an error.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:17 (MESSAGE):
Only support Windows. Aborting.

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
CMake Error: Unable to open cache file for save. //CMakeCache.txt

Well in sound when playing the demonstration files. The previous version didn't. Possible clue: first bar first time often sounds OK but thereafter it's all tin. Perhaps starts when chords appear.

Hello there!

I just started experimenting with the PA platform a couple of days back. I can successfully move files, dirs and registry entries pretty well, but now I'm stuck and I see no way of resolving this.

Hi,

Could a options be added to PortableApps
so the zip backups files could be like

labeldrivename-2012-04-18-Documents.zip instead of
PortableAppsBackup-2012-04-18-Documents.zip

and

labeldrivename-2012-04-18-Drive.zip instead of
PortableAppsBackup-2012-04-18-Drive.zip

With such a options, many USB-KEY with different label could be made
to the same network drive.
