Portable App Development

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

Vist The Homepage

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):

PlannerPortable 0.14.2

I'm glad to see updates to the apps being posted.

ok, what versions of nsis are you guys using? i've tried 3 different versions and keep getting compile errors with the provided Sudoku *.nsi...

the latest (1/13/2007) version complained that VIProductVersion (and all other VI commands) were invalid...

what am i missing here?

EDIT: sorry, i clicked submit twice

I would like to suggest the use of 20-50 1 pixel images for the drive space indicator.
When making a them from a picture rather than a solid color its hard to find a color that will go well with the various colors that may exist in the picture.
If you were to implement 20-50 1 pixel images, you could grey out the box, and then "rebuild" that portion of the image using the 1 pixel images to create the drive space indicator.

Does anybody else see a potential benefit in maybe having a configurable option to allow Apps Menu-controlled installations to automatically delete the .paf.exe file after installation is completed? I find myself going back to do this invariably, as my flash drive is only 1gb and space is always at a premium given the amount of apps in my build...

Just curious if others see it this way too...

Can anybody writ a script that includes adding and removing this file.(http://www.mediafire.com/?4yymyrzrn2d) Just leave feilds, like name and that stuff unchanged, please

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!
