guidance/create portable application/klavaro

Hi,

I have been using portable applications for a while.

Now during my spare time i am trying to learn to make portable applications myself.

I have read the "Creating A Portable App: A Guerilla Field Guide" and understood some of it[i am new to this :)]. Downloaded the recommended software.

Now i am trying to make a portable klavaro ( http://klavaro.sourceforge.net/ ). It is a typing software.

I did manage to create initial package with a launcher.

However, every time i start the software, after the i see the "development test splash screen" it gives me a error message.

It says: "**ERROR**: couldn't find a data file at the data path: ..\share\klavaro\basic_lessons.txt aborting..

Except i checked several times under the aforementioned directory and the .txt file is there.

The exact directory is ...\App\Klavaro\share\klavaro\basic_lessons.txt

I can start the software by directly clicking on the "klavaro.exe", but when try to use the launcher, the above mentioned problem repeates.

I checked the forum, could not find a solution.

Thanks.

Can I recommend checking out the portableapps IRC channel.

Just went first time tonight and the people are really helpful.

Heres the link

Hope that helps though I think you'll need an IRC Client to access it - You can use piodgin or X-Chat from here Smile

At launch code, insert the

At launch code, insert the following code:
SetOutPath "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY"

so, something like :

Launch:
SetOutPath "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY" 
Exec "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\$PROGRAMEXECUTABLE"

This assumes that you at somepoint have done the following:
StrCpy "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY" "$EXEDIR\App\Klavaro\"

Too many bridges you can burn
Too many tables you can't turn
Don't wanna live my life in the real world
