PortableApp.com Developers Kit

My anti virus program registers this as having a downloader virus in it. this system has norton 4.0 360 small business edition. I highly doubt that it's a false positive because this is the first time i ever had a virus problem from this website. This app will be reported to the site administrators for independant verification. I will now block this thread from here so there no further contamination of my system. In the future dont bother posting apps with viruses. it's not cool.

im not sure exactly where in the files that i'm getting a downloader virus alert from but im sure that it's unintentional on your part. This is the command line my security report says the virus is:
f:\portableapps.comdeveloperskit\other\source\download.exe.
I cant do anything with this file because its being blocked by norton. I have real time protection so everything is quite ok. All i want to do to provide feedback and test various apps. If there is a problem or whatever i will let someone know. Perhaps it is a false positve or maybe someone planted a virus where the app downloads from. At any rate i hope this is report helps. Having a developers kits for ppl to make their own app creating easier is a great idea! Good Luck and thanks

if I had only finished my website by now...

I was making something like that too, except it was going to be called "PortableApps.com Developer Suite" or PADS and I'd say in my still-unfinished tutorial at the end "but remember, before you even think about making your portable app, use PADS"

I would have used Appetizer as the menu, though; I don't know what your using (haven't downloaded it).

congrats on beating me (not being said sarcastically by the way)

You will probably want to add IcoFX to this, since appicon.ico, appicon_32.png and appicon_16.png are an important part of any PortableApps release. IcoFX is definitely not used as often as, say, Notepad++, but it's still fairly important IMHO.

I'll have to try this out later; it may simplify my own (mildly messy) development process.

Thanks!

You have a nice GUI, and you've packaged it as a paf.exe file. This means that it works in the PortableApps Menu.
But, I already have Notepad++ Portable, NSIS Portable, winMd5Sum Portable, etc.
It doesn't seem very efficient to have to make copies of these existing files.
Also, the 2.0 menu has an updater, which will update most of these apps if installed in the normal places, but I'm pretty sure they won't update them inside the file structure you have.

It should be possible to point your shortcuts to the folders where the apps are normally installed; although I haven't really used Autohotkey, it's fairly standard coding to use ..\..\ to go up a few folders in a path. That way, all the apps could be installed and updated the normal way, and you wouldn't use unnecessary space.

This could be a nice addition to the official apps. One last thing, you should have someone review the spelling and grammar, it needs a little work.

... would be a modular compiler system. Say, for instance, each compiler loads an NppExec script onto Notepad++. All that would be needed in Notepad++ is the launcher script, and since NppExec is already preloaded with Notepad++, It's simple to make.

For instance:

You install PA.c DK on your flash drive.
You then install MinGW Portable on your flashy.
MinGW Portable loads a Notepad++ (or gVim or whatever) script into a script directory.
When Execute is clicked on Notepad++ the correct compiler/interpreter is called, and, wham! Your script executes.

However, that would mean a lot of cooperation with a lot of seperate projects.

Another thing we could do is do like Eclipse Portable does it- make the Language pack bundled with it's own Notepad++ install.

Well Done!

This is a fine piece of work and will be coming in very useful. I praise you on your workmanship.

Well Done (again)

I'm running this app on win xp pro sp3 x86,win 7 pro x86 (dual boot o/s) & win 7 home x64. This is a fantastic app! Well done and i do hope you continue with this project! This will help me create portable apps like there's no tomorrow. Being that i'm just a power user & not a programmer,this app will go a long way and perhaps i can actually make portable apps and contribute in a more meaningful fashion. I have very heavy security so i wanted to apologize for the posts a couple months ago. When i do make my own apps,i will credit you for making that possible. Well done!
