Portable App Development

Multiple Profile Support for Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird and SeaMonkey, Portable Editions 1.1

Installed it into my portable Firefox installation, which added the FirefoxPortable2ndProfile.exe file.

Attempting to launch Firefox Portable for this second profile, it fails due to the following error message:

Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition 2nd Profile cannot be started. You may wish to re-install to fix this issue. (ERROR: D:\app\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe)

For those who cant wait for the official release of Beta apps; feature to PAM that would also grab the updates of Beta apps.

How can I make it so that when the installer runs to install the app onto the platform, it takes 2 files and places them in another place?

I'm currently trying to develop a portable app. I have used the template and flowed the information under the development page. I have files in the correct places, but when I go to make the package to be installed onto the platform, I get this enormous error log. I have no idea what I am supposed to do from here, because I have never gotten this error before.

If someone can help me get past this that would be great. Here is what I'm getting:

Does portableapps can use netfs like samba NFS or other netfs to async the backup my Udisk automatic or just use a account to login my portable env via internet?

Ok, so I was planning on developing my own PortableApp. I read up on all the instructions but I'm still having a little trouble understanding it all. If I were to take a regular program, were would what parts of the program go? I understand how the PA format works for making the app, Its just that I'm confused.

Could someone just help me out understand the basics of making a portableapp?

Hi everyone,

I am a new member, and have recently found PortableApps.com. Firstly thanks to developers.
I have developed a small app to automatically create PA shortcuts. I thought it might be useful for someone else as well.

I have applications that I don't want to place under the "portableapps" folder. Also I want to have shortcuts to some of my folders and files that are not ".exe' files (e.g. jar files). So I developed a small app using AutoHotKey. It is very simple to use:
1. Run the exe file

Hi,
Newbie question:
for example:
[RegistryKeys]
test1=HKCU\Software\AppName

the [RegistryKeys] function of PAL, in my understanding, is like:
when portable software starts, double-click "test1.reg" to import to registry and backup what's originally there,
and when portable software quits, delete what's imported, then restore the backup.

If I understand right, why specific location "HKCU\Software\AppName" is needed? There could be hundreds of lines and dozens of locations in "test1.reg", not just one location.
