BACKGROUND:
I started using PortableApps around 2006/2007, when I got my first USB flash drive, but I never got around to using them much, as I don't really carry a flash drive around with me. Instead, I have my own ultracompact ThinkPad wherever I go.
But I have recently rediscovered PortableApps and realised that they work very well with my system of syncing my 'command' directory on all my machines. This contains all my scripts and command line programs, Cygwin, and now also having a lot of portable applications in there is proving very useful indeed.
QUESTION:
I want to know how I can start the PortableApps from CMD and/or PowerShell, just as thought they were started using the PA menu, using the same environment.
With this knowledge , I can go on to make a script which also adds shortcuts to the Start Menu of all my own computers (and virtual ones), so that I can easily start them from there, and without having to make duplicate local installations.
I'd really appreciate any advice from people who understand how the PA packaging system works.
Thanks.
