Portable App Development

Yeah, my launcher for Project64 has a flaw to it... one of the .reg files are not being imported, however the other 2 .reg files are being imported into the registry. The 3rd .reg file (the one that is not being imported), if I manually import it, after I launch P64 Portable (the data of the 3rd .reg file is not brought into use until I begin emulation), the settings are retained and after P64 Portable is closed, the Registry keys that are supposed to be brought into the 3rd .reg file (The NRage keys) are cleaned up and brought into the 3rd .reg file...

I just installed the new firefox over the older one and noticed the bookmarks and some preferences are lost.

Somehow I got the impression that the folder structure had to ensure that 'updating' a application would keep the previous information like settings and bookmarks.

Hello guys and/or girls.
Excuse my bad English, but I am not a native english speaker nor a native german speaker.
I had read a lot of threads about the wish to get a portable MiKTeX and/or LyX.
Well I programmed some useful things, better known as LyXPortable.exe (and MOPortable.bat and MPMPortable.bat, which are also exe-Files, but renamed to bat-Files).

Hi everyone,
any ideas how to achieve that task?

It seems that UPX does not have a commandline switch to do that (At least I didn't find it).
Then I tried to get a (recursive) list of *.dll and *.exe files (with DIR) but struggled to get it working in an universal plattform independant way (To later call UPX with each item of the list.)

Any ideas?

Just a simple one.

It's for PAM Mod R25 and above.

Can somebody create me portable version of mozilla firefox which has integrated http://www.bitstorm.org/extensions/tweak/

I'm a bit confused about how portable apps uses its folders. It seems very complex and I examined some that have seemingly double folders (with a textfile about registry files go here).

Now I know a certain folder structure has to be in place to make backing up and installing upgrades more easily, but it seems some things are spread over different subfolders that escape logic.

Isn't there a simple folder layout? not just a folder with a subfolder with a textfile in it?

Example: the source folders are on a folder other, why aren't they just a subfolder in the rootfolder?

I'm posting this here and not on the support forum because all I want to do is to flag a compatibility problem between a portable launcher and a network drive.

I'm trying to run notepad++portable from a mapped network drive, and the launcher basically silently quits almost immediately. notepad++ itself isn't even started. What's a bit special about the network drive is that it resides on an sftp server and it's mapped using sftpdrive (.com). I can run IcoFX portable from the same drive, so I know that some level of compatibility exists between portable launchers and sftp drives.

How would I go about having my PortableApps drive always show up as a particular letter (unless that letter's taken)? I would like to do it from an AutoIt script if possible. Otherwise, I'll use VC++ 6.

I'm particularly aiming this question at SmithTech, as I know his menu does it (on the other hand, it does it from Delphi/Pascal, which may be very different).

Any and all help gladly welcomed.

Hi,
I downloaded PythonPortable but the parameter winkExecutable in PythonPortable.ini does not work. I need to launch pythonw.exe to hide the command prompt but the PythonPortable.exe launch always python.exe. The PythonPortable.ini is in the correct directory beacause I tried the disable logo option that worked well.
Excuse me if I posted here but The PythonPortable support page link on the site (http://www.tanisthalon.karoo.net/pythonportable.html#) is broken.
Thanks

Bye
