Portable App Development

I am asking because the dates all seem several years old on the things I have read.

I have a pretty popular portable IT app (located here) that does require .NET.

Has anyone released a 64-bit portable apps launcher for the 64-bit version of Linux MultiMedia Studio (https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/releases/download/v1.1.3/lmms-1.1.3-win64.exe)? The current 32-bit portable app works fine but I would like a version of portable LMMS in which I can use my 64-bit VST plugins.

Thanks!

Hi John and the team,

Firstly, thank you for adding the ability to use and update multiple copies of the same app. I have just one small request:

Rather than having to rename the nth copy of an app to AppNamePortable_Copy_n, would it be possible to amend the app slightly so we can use user specified folder names so that we don't have to keep a spreadsheet to remember that, for example, FirefoxPortable_copy_6 is actually Firefox_banking?

Hello! I tried to make my own portable teamspeak. I used portableapps.com laucher for it.
So after "building" in laucher i try to run my portable app but nothing happens
Data folder is creating,but program isn't launch

Please help and sorry for my language

So I am trying to make a PAF version of Pokemon TCG Online. I am having trouble getting DirectoriesMove and RegistryKeys to work at all. When I launch the game, it loads instantly, which should not happen. The data folder alone is 3.7 gb (holds all the images for all cards) and should take a few minutes to copy over on a usb2 connection. Problem is, nothing is being moved. I don't mind waiting a few minutes for my game to load but the problem is it loads instantly and doesn't move over essential files or keys. I should also mention I saved this ini in unicode.

This started in the Outdated Apps thread, and (rightfully) got deleted from there, as it should have been split off to another thread if it was to continue.

Hi there

I'm brand new here, and i'm a complete nOoB in NSIS scripting.

I downloaded a portable app, and extracted the launcher, in order to get to the script, i did no modifications to the script, but now it won't compile i get an error on this line.

WriteRegBin HKCU Software\BurnAware\License Key data[91242 ... ] ; !!! Unsupported


I have no clue what's wrong as i don't know scripting, but my question is, it was already compiled, HOW?

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,

I'm currently making a portable version of Adobe Photoshop CC. It's working fine now. However, some of the registry keys are generated and stored in HKLM (just trash keys and not important). I want to delete all these keys when the application exit to make it truely portable and leave no trace behind. I tried to run the program as Admin, put "RunAsAdmin" in Launch section, put the keys in [RegistryCleanupIfEmpty], [RegistryCleanupForce] but no help.

Is this a bug or I'm missing something?

Thank!

Hello everyone,

I'm currently working with a software that requires a running service.
Because the PortableApps Launcher is not working with services right now, I have to write a BAT file that call "sc" command to register the service, run it and remove afterward. It's fine to use but not convenient at all. It's better if the portable program can execute the BAT file for me (instead of running manually).

Is there anyway to call the BAT (or EXE) file from the portable program?!

Thank in advancce!
