Portable App Development

For my personal comfort I developed over the years a cmd-script that automates the use of a secured PortableApps platform on a NTFS-VHD, that I'd like to share ...

Dear PortableApps team,

I upgraded XAMPP Control Panel app to version 1.7.0.0 this morning.
https://portableapps.com/apps/development/xampp

It deleted all data located inside P:\PortableApps\XAMPP\App\xampp during update.
This means that all my XAMPP installation was deleted automatically, and nothing arrived inside recycle bin.

OS : Windows 7 64 bit.

It looks like it is a major bug to me.
Please contact me if you need any other information.

Hello, I'm new so don't know very much I think portable apps are just the best thing, however can you make portable apps for bitdefender, Comodo, Vipre, Norton Utilities & Win Utilities, soorry the list goes on, I understand they are not open souce but can they be made for people who own the rights, badically I have a licence for all that ai mention but would much prefer to run them as a portable apps as they tend to suck too much resource from the PC especially when booting, AV all tend to suck resources, hence I don't have the knowledge to do it myself but at least you guy s o have th

Hello,

I try to use GoogleChromePortable in a pool of virtual machines. I want to "install" ChromePortable local on the machines - but the settings and the bookmarks etc. should be in the roaming userprofiles.

When I try to change the ProfileDirectory and the SettingsDirectory via GoogleChromePortable.ini it is not possible to set the path to %APPDATA%\Chrome.
It is also not possible to access a homedrive (E:\).
It is only possible to change the directory via "..\..\Users" but %USERNAME% is also not supported.

Any further ideas?

I use Firefox portable version 52.2.0. I witnessed an unusual behavior:
After forcing the closure by killing the Firefox process from task manager, next time the browser is launched it will appear in safe mode.
Do you have any explanation for this behavior, knowing that the problem doesn’t happen systematically?

Hello,
I'm new to all this and I am currently trying to portabalize an app that I have installed. I have it working and need to do more testing. I am using the 3.5.0 template. I see additional .png files along with the appicon.ico included with the template, but I only have the icon that came with the app. What is the purpose off the additional .png files and are they needed or recommended?

Thanks...

I have an app i build from stardock that's very stab-urn with a folder it creates on documents. I placed that folder on App\DefaultData because the contents in the folder are required to function however when I launch the launcher two folders are created inside documents one with my settings and the other with nothing inside. I did notice the blank folder says shared I tested putting my files inside the blank folder and it worked however its not controlled by the launcher.

I need help trying to get %SYSDIR%\Tasks\MEGA folder deleted using custom code after I exit the app. The code I have doesn't seem to help and launcher just ignores any entries.
