Portable App Development

Hi, I've coded a simple unread mail notifier, and was wondering if you guys thought it's worth to beta test it here. The program is fully portable (uses an ini file, no registry access except for run at startup option.) and was coded in Delphi 7 using the Indy Project . Download here: here (about 350kb) I'm not sure about Vista compatibility, could someone please verify this?

I habe installed gnu cash portable, It works but when i want to print a result i just get a correct preview but the print itself is a mirror print which can only be read from the back of the paper.

how can i change this

Hi,

I'm an software author from Rizone Technologies and is in the process of developing many portable applications. All fully portable and all freeware. However, I need people that can test these tools for me and give some feedback. Or if you really don't have time, download them and use them.

How to personalize the new version of the launcher? Previous version was much easier to change themes, user´s picture, etc. For example, how do I put a picture\scene in the place of the normal pop-up window?
Thanks.

Hi.

This is my first post here and I have looked around just briefly so this might already have been discussed.

I'm looking in to making a portable apps suit where I have the apps in a place that can be read only and the data separately in it's own path.

Why?
Then I can run from the same place (eg network drive or DropBox) on multiple computers without using the same data.
And I only have to manage the apps in one place.

I am working on registry input/export for Qt Creator Portable, and I need a way to clear empty section from an INI file.

Qt Creator does something that seems odd to me with the registry. Instead of having a registry key that contains the path to a directory of file, it recreates the file structure in the registry. So one of the registry entries would be:

On some installers I get this message about testing installer integrity (or something to that extent) and I was wondering... What is that all about? does Windows look at the installer for viruses or something. Is this something the installer is supposed to do? Why does it only show up on some installers?

With the publication today of a security advisory from Microsoft regarding the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package, how is PortableApps going to handle updating all the apps that use this library? (I didn't look, but I assume there's more than a few).

I'm working on a Qt Creator Portable, but I am having some difficulty getting Qt Creator for find the files on the portable drive.

I've run RegShot to track file and registry changes. Qt Creator doesn't appear to use the registry at all, instead it uses an INI file. I've set up QtCreatorPortable.exe to modify the INI file to point to the portable installation, but it still doesn't find it. Where else might a program put settings information?
