Portable App Development

Hi there.

I am trying to adapt the Flash player I have developed (Swatmajor1's Flash Player) into a portable version, with no success. It is a VB6 coded program, so it shouldn't be too difficult to make portable.

The idea came from Portable Firefox. Copy the Flash plug in from its default location (In this case ..\system32\macromed\flash) and paste it into the programs directory.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

PS

I was wondering could someone make a PHP script, that when you entered the name version ect. it would output a compleat NSIS script.
I think it would make portable app creation a lot faster

OK I hope this is the right place to put this, but for those of you who play EVE online at home and work like myself may get a kick out of this.

I just installed EVE online into a folder of it's own in my portable apps USB drive, and it worked on my laptop and my workstation. Nothing to it really except to make sure it installs to the directory, like mine was "F:\PortableApps\EVE". Simple as that. I didn't find any posts regarding this and figured my first post would be this.

Thought I'd try building a portable app so I've built Windows Live Writer Portable.
For those that don't know, WLW is a new blog publishing tool, currently in Beta, from Microsoft. It's actually a nice little tool that works with all the major blogging platforms, not just Microsoft Spaces. An interesting app to make portable.

The Portable Apps Creation Master 1.6 is built for the ultimate registry eradication!

I was trying to work on making Omea Reader portable. It creates over 100 registry entries. After adding the keys in the .nsi file, i tried compiling it. It throws an error message. It seems like it doesnt support large number of reg entries. Is there a work around to this? Like adding all reg entires in a file. And then asking the script to import the reg entries in the file? I am new to NullSoft scripting...still on the learning curve. Can someone help me out with this thing? Any suggestions? Examples will help too.

Thanks,
Sam.

I loved the Portable Application Template that I have seen on the forms here, so I made a program to edit and compile it automatically. There are still bugs, but I got most of them out. Please feel free to tell me what you think. In the spirit of open source, I have also released the code.

Code in Autoit:

Compiled and packed with NSIS:

Modified PAF NSIS template(original from - https://portableapps.com/node/2022):

I have created a new portable version of Planner (Planner is a general purpose project management tool), ready for beta testing.

Features:

• Directory structure is compatible to portableapps.com
• Uses installed settings
• Fancy splash-screen

The selfextracting archive can be downloaded from its current location.

The download link (7.09 MB):
