Portable App Development

I am a novice of portableapps，i have a question that puzzled me some days. when I make a software named BaiduReaderLite for portable，I found that portableappsLauncher not have a good support for chinese language，I said that in more detail below，look：

At the Launcher.ini below [RegistryValueWrite] I write this：

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\BaiduReaderLite.pdf\shell\用百度阅读器精简版打开\command\=REG_SZ:%PAL:AppDir%\BaiduReaderLite\BaiduReaderLite.exe "%1"

when run the portableapp,I found that it is not exist in the regedit, but a similar section

I want to have an easy to find and edit way of changing what the "default" virtual PA.c drive letter is.

Current launcher.ini:
[Environment]
PAL:SubstDrive=B

[FilesMove]


Is there a way to convert a MSI to portable app format?

Give a search box in portable apps menu (search should be like windows 7 start menu search) if we start typing it will show the filtered applications.

Hi there!

I'm new to the PortableApps forums but I have been using the website (and apps) for ages.

I don't know whether this has been posted before (or if this is even the right section ) but I wanted to share how you can very easily make an Eclipse portable app with the JDK.

Don't worry, I won't post a download link (that's technically illegal :D).

There are two ways:

1: Get a friend to get the JDK on his/her computer, copy over the files.
2: (The way we'll be doing) Get the compressed binaries direct from Oracle.

Here's how to do it:

Please provide search box for portableapps updater. so we can filter based on search and install applications.

Hi!

Today i cleaned up some old unused program files and I noticed that on my (old) system (Win XP, 32 bit) a folder from RawTherapee Portable is left behind in the Local Settings/Application Data directory.
Maybe you can fix that in a future version.

I'm trying to keep a clean system and avoid installations as much as possible but sometimes Ι encounter some necessary requirements that force installations of runtimes and 3rd parry drivers. Is there some way to implement those without installing them? For example the visual studio runtimes (vcredist_x64) is one i need right now.
