Portable App Development

Ok, so I am really struggling to understand parts of the installer.ini documentation. I do have issues with reading comprehension, so please be patient.

I posted a notice of my latest Development Test up at https://portableapps.com/development/test. The first two I did before at OpenPuff and MultiObfuscator are correct, but GameSave Manager, is not.

hey guys..

i seem to have run into a roadblock.
i've been working on this for a few days but can't seem to figure this out.

im making EasyBCD portable but it seems to leave HKLM\Software\NeoSmart Technologies
behind.

Here's my launcher.ini:
[RegistryKeys]
-=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\EasyBCD.exe
NeoSmart=HKLM\SOFTWARE\NeoSmart Technologies

it works fine on 32-bit, but my OS is 64-bit.

Other than the key being left behind, everything else seems to work.

Anyone know where im going wrong?

I tried to create a Plugin installer accordingly the instructions under No. 7 of the PortableApps.com Format™ 3.0 (2012-05-11). I have inserted the file plugininstaller.ini in the App\AppInfo directory. Only this file is contained in the App\AppInfo directory. The directory layout only contains the folder App and the appropriate subfolders and the folder Other. The file plugininstaller.ini is identical with the file appinfo.ini of the portable app that the plugin is used.

I have a bit of an odd problem.

I am using the 'Portable Python' from portablepython.com.
This package includes the PyScripter IDE.
I am fond, however, of working with IDLE, python's built in IDE.
I browsed through the contents of the portable app and found that IDLE could still be launched by running a batch file. The contents of the batch file appear to run a python script in the python engine to generate the IDLE GUI (I'm just guessing here, I can post the code if you like).

In my app streamWriter Portable I have integrated the following section in the file appinfo.ini:

[Associations]
FileTypes=mp3

Afterwards I installed the app as usual in the PA.c Menu. Now I started the PA.c Menu but no *.mp3 files was associated with streamWriter Portable.
In a second attempt I run streamWriter Portable from the PA.c Menu, but the same issue appeared.

Has anyone an explanation for this issue?

Is there a manual for the PA.com Installer? I'm getting an error, and can't seem to find any documentation. Thanks..

Hi,
I'm trying to make this portable app, it's already 99% portable except: it writes config to a special folder.It's like:
D:\PHOTO\MassiGra\user\joshatt\MassiGra.cfg

You see? "joshatt" is my WINXP username. Guess I should use "USERPROFILE", but how could I filter out the "C:\Documents and Settings\" part? And I also have to consider if this portable app is to be used in a win7 or vista computer, it could be filtering out "C:\Users\",instead.

Any idea?

Is it possible that Pathological is not in the app store?
I didn't have it installed ever before and saw it listed here and noticed it was not in the app store.

Thanks,
PSkilton

Hi everybody, I can't make Portableapp.com Launcher if registry not write before programs running, but, I have .reg with 1772 line, this will take a long time if write a manual to [RegistryValueWrite] ?

please tell me, how to convert (.reg) to [RegistryValueWrite] ?
or is there a simple way for this ?

thanks before.
