Portable App Development

Driver virtualization - Done
Embedding - Done

HTH FYI

Which is your favorite? Especially via been portable?

Sorry I forgot to mention that both Softwares are available in a "portable format"

Qemu does by definition to be portable - VirtualBox still trying to only be installed, but told to
be installed portable by no ways.

HTH

Hello. I want to make my portable app change ProgramExecutable based on the version of Windows. I tried to this in Custom.nsh:

${SegmentFile}

${SegmentInit}
    ${If} ${AtLeastWin110}
        ${SetEnvironmentVariablesPath} FullAppDir $AppDirectory\PolyMC
    ${Else}
        ${SetEnvironmentVariablesPath} FullAppDir $AppDirectory\Legacy
    ${EndIf}
!macroend

But it seems I can't use the environment variable in ProgramExecutable. Any idea how I'd accomplish this? Thanks.

Hi,

I am new at this, and so would very much appreciate the help from the community - i am trying to create a portableapps (paf) version of Tabby.
I created the appinfo.ini:


[Format]
Type=PortableAppsFormat
Version=3.7

[Details]
Name=Tabby PortableApps
AppId=TabbyPortable
Publisher=Wolfferine
Homepage=
Donate=
Category=Internet
Description=Tabby - a terminal for the modern age
Language=Multilingual

In my special case I would like to exclude "JavaPortableLauncher"
It does severe problems.

Hi, I'm trying to create an NSIS compiled executable that selecting it from the "open with" choices opens the designated file in a specific executable. Basically a sort of launcher similar to the PA.c launcher but without including any code belonging to it. I noticed that the PA.c Template has "FileTypeCommandLine" and "FileTypeCommandLine-extension", is it possible to implement such a thing in a .nsi script?

I explain better

EXAMPLE:

Everything I have read online says that you should start with a "clean install" of the OS in order to begin to create a portable app.

I understand the reasons why, but obviously this is not necessarily an easy thing to do for a normal user.

So my question is can you use something like VMware to create a virtual machine with a freshly installed OS and create a portable app on a computer that is not a fresh install?

If so:

I download the start(PortableAppsStartSource21.2.2.7z) source code from SF, and want to modify and customize it.
It seems the code is in Pascal, and I installed the Lazarus IDE, but it doesn't know the source code project.

What is the IDE is used to compile the code? Any guide to build it?

I downloaded LibreOfficePortable_7.3.2_MultilingualAll.paf.exe and installed it to a folder AppsPortable\LibreOffice
The installation was successful, but after that none of the applications can execute - all of them start and terminate immediately. I didn't expect such a strange problem. I didn't have that problem with LibreOfficePortable_7.3.1_MultilingualAll.paf.exe

Is it possible to exclude one of the apps from auto updating??

Generally I am happy to auto update all of the apps on startup but one of the apps I would prefer to keep at certain version and NOT update it... (higher versions are causing issues)
