Hello,
I was curious to find out if there is documentation on how to create/re-create existing portable apps, in order to update them ourselves. There are some programs that have been updated, and
* I would like to update my USB drive
* I would like to learn how to create my own packages.
Here are some existing portable apps that I would like to update

Are there still no weather apps for Portabler Apps? I know it is hard to find one that does not have spyware. Don't always want to rely on ForecastFox in Firefox. Would be nice if there was a light weight single purpose app such as WeatherPulse. It is free but I don't think it available for conversion.

Hello everyone!
I just recently started using portable apps. I tried making 3DS max studio 2009 portable. I installed a fresh copy of XP with VMware and then tried using thinapp to capture the installation etc etc. It didnt work.
So I tried looking for it on the internet and also, none of the files I d/led managed to work. Is it even possible to make 3ds max portable? Has anyone tried?

Me and a buddy wanna play this at work, we have unrestricted net access, but we can't install anything to the hard drives of our computers. I know you can install firefox on a thumb drive, should I be able to install quake live, which uses a firefox browser plug-in, on the thumb drive as well and have it run okay?

anyone have any experience with this?

PDFTK Builder use pdftk, but by default, pdftk does not support CJK(Chinese, Japanese, Korean) path, So I hacked it, and it supports now, you can download compiled version or modified source code from here.

Developed in DOTNET(C#), bases on iTextSharp, but compiled with mono, so it can run without .net framework, a really portable version, and it is free
The main feature is,

* Digital Sign a PDF document with PKCS#12 certificates
* Can modify meta data
* Supports multiple signatures.

I created a portable Apache httpd and it is freely available at http://code.google.com/p/portapache/

Please try it and let me know if you have any feedback.

Hey guys im new to this site, have downloaded a couple programs with no problems but i have a question. I want to upload my own portable apps but they are made with vmwares thinstall application. These programs can be moddified to resource the information needed to run in either the user directory or within the folder that the .exe is located.

If i am allowed i have a copy of limewire that i have made into one .exe which is about 8 mb in size. I also have made other open sourced or freely downloaded programs as well.

For safety purposes be sure your Portable Apps come from PortableApps.com or you made them portable yourself.

I was going to comment in the topic about the site, but it appears to have been deleted. For good reason, too; it was linking to a warez site.

I got curious earlier and decided to install one of their "appz". Nothing illegal (except, possibly, for them to have redistributed). I simply downloaded a portable AdAware. I figured what the heck, PA.com doesn't offer any kind of portable malware detection, it would go good with my utilities.
