How to get a special purpose application made portable

Submitted by lir2566 on July 14, 2008 - 7:42am

Hi all,
I have the PortableApps suite and use them travelling. Great stuff.
I'm also a pilot and there's a flight planning application it would be great to have portable. Likewise with a diving application that calculates decompression times, etc. I have a licence & paid-up keys for them.
How can I get them packaged to be portable / who can I ask to see if they can be made portable.
There won't be much demand for them, so I'm willing to pay if its not going to cost an arm & a leg.
Any advice appreciated.
Regards,
John

time for portableapps for admins?

Submitted by jps on July 12, 2008 - 2:07pm

I think it's time to create a section "portableapps for admins". Many times we have admin rights on target computer anyway.

There is many nice software which needs because of their task admin rights to work.

Currently every individual needs to convert his needed applications (requiring admin rights) into portables itself or to go to the competitors (portablefreeware.com).

What "portableapps for admins" would be useful?
- well, very similar advantages to standard portable apps
- easy and fast install, just copy
- you can spread your software from computer to computer very easy

Giving away Portableapp.com Suite

Submitted by pmlabrier on July 10, 2008 - 11:07am

The company that I work for is looking at giving away ThumbDrives for our end of the year giveaway. We were at a trade show a moth or so back and those seemed a real hit. I was wondering if it were permissible to put the Apps Suite on them. It will be made clear that it was FREE software that came from Portableapps.com and links to the project page.

Our business caters to pilots who use public terminals in numerous airports across the country and this would be very useful for them.
