How to run multiple versions of the same app?

Submitted by ajax on February 28, 2019 - 3:52pm

This is coming from someone who has become a big fan of Portable Apps. What you're doing here is terrific stuff. In fact, it is so good that I've developed my own method of running software in a portable fashion from the same thumb drive as what is used for real Portable Apps. My method is somewhat crude when compared to the way that portable apps work.

How to drop out installation proccess?

Submitted by borisko on February 28, 2019 - 4:48am

Is it possible to build portable .exe version that doesn't require actual installation proccess and does not require admin privileges? Like Putty portable version or so.
The point is to avoid admin privileges to make work an app instantly (not bad case scenario supposed). Please, correct me if I wrong.
Any advice will be appreciated, thanks!

I LOVE portables apps. I have a tool called CodeXCavator2 which I would like to release as a portable app, and make it available for install via the Portable Apps application, Get More Apps menu.

So I have read through the developer documentation, and packaged it all up etc.

If you look here: https://github.com/Ben136KBC/CodeXCavator2/tree/master/PortableAppsFiles you will see the .paf.exe (As well as all the other files that go into the installer)

Good day

Ripples tell me
there is a directory \ FirefoxPortable \ Other \ Source
as I understand it, she is responsible for compiling the MozilaFirefoxPortateble assembly.
I myself have built an assembly with additional plug-ins for myself.
Compiled via PortableApps.comInstaller_3.5.11 without problems
