Portable App Development

I am no professional programmer but some time ago I needed to run an old INI driven application from USB drive and I got tired of updating the INI file each time I launched the program so I decided to write a little helper for that.
Portabelize is a utility for launching ini file controlled applications from USB drives.

Do not use this. Use the PortableApps.com Launcher instead.

What ist it for?
It helps you to create a clean portable application. This means no traces are left on the host computer and the application doesn't (normally) have to be changed in any way. (Maybe some configuration files)

Where can I get it?
http://www.loncarek.de/downloads/ApplicationPortableTemplate.nsi
use "Save As..." in your browser.
The license and more information could be found at the end of the source.

I have been working on Stellarium Portable, and have run into a few problems. If anyone could help in any way, that would be fabulous.

Would it be possible to get a feature that can change the color of the portable apps menu?

Can anyone help with a C++ problem?

I've compiled my program (apparently without errors), but it crashes when I try to run it. If anyone's got better debug functionality on their comp, a report of what went wrong will be very welcome.

The program in question is NCRC-Tool, my attempt at coding a PortableApps.com Launcher CRC-check bypass.
It reads in 2 values from an INI file, telling it:
1. Which executable (the launcher) to run, and
2. Whether or not to show an alert telling the user that it is running the file with parameter /NCRC.

Being there is a shortage of portable AVs, I figured I'd finally get around to doing this one. Obviously it's not free or open source, so I can't post any files or compiled binaries. But if you own the product, here's how to run it portably. I got the basic idea from a plugin someone did for UBCD4Win.

The following instructions and script assume the normal PApps directory structure. This works with NOD32 v2.70.xx, not the newer v3.0.

These files go in the App\NOD32 directory.
Files needed from local NOD32 directory -

nod32.000
nod32.002
nod32.003
nod32.004
nod32.005

Please be quiet!
Last week we get new neighbors. They were brought in the night by the FBI to their new home, a houseboat. I've tried to make a theme of them, self-evident without faces.

hello,
how do i change or install new theme or skin for portableappes launcher?

thank you !

I have been experimenting with some things, using StartPortableApps. So far I've found them useful, so I figured I'd post them here in case they might be useful to others. I'm posting them as .nsi source rather than an executable, because I don't want anyone mistaking this for a production or reliable version. Someone with NSIS installed can probably get this compiled in a couple of minutes (you'll need an icon file -- any will do -- or comment that line out).
