Portable App Development

I am a n00b that needs help making apps portable and putting them in the Portableapps Platform. So far, I have (somehow) managed to successfully use the Portableapps.com Launcher and have tried to make it to the Portableapps.com Installer. I made an installer, and was very happy with myself, so I successfully installed it to the Platform. In my moment of pride, I tried to run the application and it gave me the following message:

F:\PortableApps\OverturePortable\App\Appinfo\Launcher\OverturePortable.ini is missing [Launch]:ProgramExecutable - What am I to launch?

I want to run a program when app is running (that will close when app is closed).
What is the way to to this?

Jportable x64 and Jportable x86 = Dont have the same sub-directorys inside.

Did it's a bug or not, that Jportable x64 dont contain Inside the same directorys structures, that the x86 version ???

Hello Everyone,

I am having a strange bug with jportable.

I have created a package with chromiumportable and jportable.

I want to get the jportable (Java plugin) to work with chromium, my problem is that when I have a Java Runtime Environment installed on a PC the chromiumportable is using the JRE of the PC and when I uninstall the Java Runtime Environment of the machine, chromium will use the Jportable of the package.

I am looking for a way to force chromiumportable to use the jportable.

Is that possible? Can someone help me?

Regards,

Hi,

does anybody knows a portable Version form Turbo Lister 2 http://pages.ebay.de/turbo_lister2/?
Or how can I create one?

Thank you!

I have a to-portabilize software which creates an autorun entry in

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\

here an extract of my launcher.ini:

[Launch]
[...]

[Activate]
Registry=true

[RegistryKeys]
[...]
mysoftware15=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\MySoftware
[...]

Of course, I cannot take the whole \Run key because it's a shared key. Unfortunately, it doesn't get recognized by the launcher. If I understand the documentation right, with

I have more installed applications than would fit in the list, so I can't see those at the bottom. Scrolling with the mouse wheel doesn't work. Should this be fixed?

Hi everyone, and sorry for my English please. I'm from Russia.
I got some trouble with my own-created portable apps on Windows 10 x64.
Every program I created on Windows 8.1 x64 run with no problem and troubles on real and virtual Windows 7/8.1 x86/x64.
But when I try to launch my own portable apps on Windows 10 TP x64, I have nothing. Programs not starting.
When I launch my AppNamePortable.exe all I can see is just a new folder Data and nothing else. No errors, no warnings. Just nothing except Data folder with data inside.

Is there a procedure used to vet the developers who create apps to download from here? Especially I am interested to know whether these apps are thoroughly checked for security against backdoors and such. What is to keep a nefarious person from creating a stealthy vulnerability into one of these programs, to which anyone downloading it would then fall victim? Thanks.

My first try with portable apps was a disaster because I had no idea that a group of such small programs would take so long to install. There was no way to stop when I needed to leave for class and doing so unfortunately broke the flash drive. On my second try I went to install a smaller list, and it still takes forever and now I today I was again in a situation where I had to let it finish or take it. I had to risk letting it get stolen and there was nothing I could do about it.
