Sorry if I post in wrong forum page.

I need help for [FileWriteN]. I'm working on a app based on old version of XAMPP and I need to edit about 45 files to make it portable. At this time I found that I must have 4 [FileWriteN] for every file, which will about 180 total entries (the last will be [FileWrite180]). So is there any elegant way to do this? Also i'm not sure is that the proper way, but I found that this work at this time. This is an example for one of the files:

[Closed] Updater fails without giving errors

Submitted by hullabaloo on June 15, 2017 - 6:04am

It's been days since my 3 portableapps platforms, all hosted in my system drive, fails to update.

Every time I go on with the update wizard it proceed downloading the apps, then it skip directly to the end of the operations very fast. And every time it doesn't do nothing, so that I'm stucked.

I tried with a fresh installation of the platform but when I try to download and install an app it just do the same and nothing happen.

The problem seems related to the updater tool, cause if I download the apps directly from the website they install correctly.

Possibility to skip pop-up after forced shutdown.

Please add the possibility to skip pop-up after forced shutdown. It is quite annoying to have to double-start every single program on reboot. And since the popup requires no interaction / decision, the information might as well be omitted....

Error message says: AppXY did not close properly last time it was run and will cleanup now. ......... Manually restart it

Cleanup, then restart automatically as an option and default!?

I've created a template custom.nsh for use with PA.c Launcher which has support for quick dotNET checking, Registering DLLs, Services, & Scheduled Tasks. It's somewhat commented as well.

This is for those more hardcore portable junkies who have some NSIS knowledge base in their code bank répertorier. Lol. I figured this could be useful so here it is: Gist
