Portable App Development

Here I go again! I'm working on a legitimate, portable Adobe Photoshop CS3. Someone will need to create the NSIS-based launcher, but let me share the steps I've taken to reach the nearest point. To write these steps most accurately, I am starting with neither Adobe Photoshop/ImageReady CS2 or CS3 or either activation license on the machine...

Heres my code for the app

!define: "MUI_INSERT_NSISCONF"=""

Changing directory to: "C:\Users\*****\Desktop\poratble apps\Evil.Player.v1.17"

Processing script file: "C:\Users\*****\Desktop\poratble apps\Evil.Player.v1.17\Evil_player.nsi"
!define: "FULLNAME"="Evil Player Portable"
!define: "NAME"="EvilPlayerPortable"
!define: "APP"="Evil_Player"
!define: "VER"="1.17"
!define: "WEBSITE"="cthelight.50webs.org/index.html"
!define: "DEFAULTEXE"="Evil_Player.exe"
!define: "DEFAULTAPPDIR"="Evil Player"
!define: "DEFAULTSETTINGSPATH"="settings"
Name: "EvilPlayerPortable"
OutFile: "EvilPlayerPortable.exe"

I have tried to 'add' an extra copy of ffportable to the Portable Application Suite.

That seemed to work OK, but I need to distinguish between the 2 copies.
I have added my main FF with all the extensions installed and want to add a 'Lite' copy which is essentially the Portable FF as issued.

I have renamed the folder as FirefoxPortableLite, but both copies show up on the launcher as Firefox. I can launch either from there but what I want to do is to rename one copy as say Firefox Portable Lite. Is this possible, and if so how/where do I have to make the changes to achieve this?

Any ideas?

I began translating PortableAppsMenu in french the uggly way : Find a Resource Editor (ResHacker) and brute force changed the item captions...
Then I saw this thred in the forum, so here I am!

Where can I find the Delphi source or resources?

How can it be incorporated in the Laucher in a more elegant way?

Thank you for helping.

I have completed the .nsi file, and what do i do next?

Hi,
is it possible to ad map in the right collum of the portable apps suite.

Hi,

I saw you are looking for a Telnet/SSH-tool... Since I have hosting, I use WinSCP in combination with puTTY. This way, you can handle files with a GUI and you also have the possibility to use a CUI.

WinSCP is downloadable as installer, standalone and source code. So maybe this can help.

i think it would be cool to have a more portable version of bzflag

Two questions:

1. Can I distribute the Java Runtime with RSSOwl Portable? I know it can be distributed but I don't know about OS projects.
2. Is the Java Runtime portable?

Sorry if these questions seem stupid but I suck with licensing (as John knows ;)) and it's late at night.

I've made an app in Visual Basic for wrapping registry settings. It works basically the same as Registry Rapper, but has support for multiple registry paths. It launches regedit from command-line to do all registry editing.

You can download it here: http://pickeringfamily.customer.netspace.net.au/RegRap.zip

Please let me know what you think.

Cheers,
