Portable App Development

Hi, is there a guide or tutorial on how to create a portable app? I see other people doing it, but I don't really know what's involved. What makes a good candidate for portable installation? How do you create a portable installation? I want to learn!

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.

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)

Hi all,

I'm working on updating this older GitPortable package so it can download the latest version of Git for Windows. Unfortunately, it appears as though Git for Windows has no "latest" url I can use, but I could possibly generate one off the latest-version.txt found at the website repo.

I have created a launcher for my portable app using the portable launcher maker. I'm now trying to create an installer for it, using the portable installer maker. But I can't figure out where it's putting the installer's EXE file.

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

Hi,

How can I help making jportable 8u191 available? It has been a time since version 181.

The second template on this page: https://portableapps.com/node/11965 has the < and >'s replaced with &lt; and &gt; for most of it.
