Portable App Development

i would love to see Portable Apps menu [X] button can also close my usb connection.. so i don't have to find safely remove icon in tray or an option to close portable apps only or both (portable apps and my usb connection..). it would add great feature for future portable apps menu.

i try the beta portable apps menu.. yess... thank you.. more personalize menu and localize feature..

"need to buy larger thumbdrive, 1G not enough any more.. lol"

Its source only with a basic splash, the icon was create in Axialis Icon Editor Corportate so im allowed to distribute it.

The package itself contains no copyrighted material, as were not allowed to re-distribute the CoolPDFReader.exe due to licence restrictions. So the Launcher checks to see if you already have it and if not will download it from their web site. Which is allowed.

Hi, Im trying to write a launcher which allows users to launch freeware apps which dont allow distribution, like Cool PDF. The launcher will open your browser so you can download the binary and then open the folder you need to save it to.

The problem im having is I cant figure out how to get NSIS to open a folder. Ive tried Exec and the folder name, ive tried ExecShell "Open" and the folder name but it just wont open it.

Any ideas?

Does anyone know of a portable application to convert .m4a files to mp3?
Audacity does'nt appear to.

Many thanks

How do you do this in a lancher:
C:\program.exe --window

I have a few questions, maybe they have been already posted here, but, I have not found them :(.
- Is there a way to make the StartPortableApps.exe file start automatically after the USB flash plug-in, and not after the Windows auto-run prompt, it would really look better and be more useful?
- Is it possible to implement the "safely remove..." option in to the PortableApps menu, next to the close (X) button, because it looks a little bit lame to first close the application, and then unplug the flash drive manually?

I'm sure this has been asked before too, but what settings does John use to save his splash images. I know it uses 96dpi, I'm just wondering if he uses the highest quality available or another setting. I want to create my own splashes, and a splash template for Have Some Patience's apps, not including the PA logo, but none of them come out as clear as John's, they all have lots of aliasing. Thanks for any help.

I have been editing the Delphi source that John handed out with the last release so I could add in removing the drive after exiting.(Like u3) I am getting an error code 5. Could someone with more Delphi knowledge help?

Here is the code I added into the imgCloseClick event procedure:

var
h: THandle; i: integer;   Drive: String;  dw: dword; bback:Boolean;  errorstr:String; sq:integer;
begin
//This part will eject the drive and exit, but will throw an error if it can't. 
Drive:=  ExtractFileDrive(Application.ExeName);

Hello

Im trying to make game portable and i need some help.
To make it work i need some kind och batch or nsis script that edits a certain file called Hospital.Cfg
The contents of the file:

INSTALL_PATH=[the path to where the game and file is located]
INSTALL_TYPE=MAX
LANGUAGE=ENG

The thing i need the script to do is to when it's run it changes the INSTALL_PATH value to the current location. This way the game can be run from anywhere.
Someone know how to do this?

I take it NSIS was used to create the installers but can anyone give me any pointers for wrapping up my own apps?

I tried the wizard in HM NSIS edit but that is a full blown installer rather than a simple zip extractor.

Or are the installers made in something else?

Thanks
