Portable App Development

How can I download more than one file with the installer.ini?

I came across with another issue in the installer.ini
I download an example.zip it contains the following structure example123/example.exe.
How can I extract the example.exe to App/example?
If I use
AdvancedExtract1To=App/example
AdvancedExtract1Filter=example123/example.exe

the result is:
App/example/example123/example.exe instead of App/example/example.exe

PAF Launcher Editor is a program used for creating/editing a PortableApps.com App Launcher. It simplifies things by making most options point and click. Using this editor would prevent you from making mistakes that you would otherwise do if you were manually typing up the launcher.ini file.

Hi,

It’s been some time since I followed your instructions from "Development Test - Forum Posting Layout" and posted my app "Explorador FF", but it won’t show up in any table from “Development Test Releases Page”. Could somebody tell me what is the next step in order for this to happen, please?

Thank you very much.

After running Launcher Generator I get a successful output and Exe for my Application. When I run the Application i get an error
MyApp Portable cannot be started. You may want to re-install...

(ERROR: C:\*\*\*\App\AppInfo\Launcher\MyApp.ini cannot be found.)

My assumption was when the launcher ran it would create the appropriate .ini files after I put in the AppInfo.ini and other required .INI's in the AppInfo folder.

If I manually create MyApp.ini and place it in the \Launcher Directory I get the error:

A few apps are using some custom code for PAL (contained in Custom.nsh) I wrote to determine the PortableApps.com Documents directory when apps are run without the PA.c Platform. There is a bug in this code that I fixed today in the LibreOffice Portable 4.2.1 update (awaiting publisher posting). Here is the fixed code:

ExpandEnvStrings $1 "%PortableApps.comDocuments%"
	${If} $1 == ""
	${OrIfNot} ${FileExists} "$1\*.*"
		${GetParent} $EXEDIR $3
		${GetParent} $3 $1
		${If} $1 == "" ;Be sure we didn't just GetParent on Root
			StrCpy $1 $3
		${EndIf}

Hi there!

When starting Cygwin Portable on Windows 8 using the PortableApps menu two additional, unwanted console windows open. When starting it manually/directly using the CygwinPortable.exe in the directory '\PortableApps\CygwinPortable' only the Cygwin terminal opens.

I noticed this when I upgraded to Windows 8 - on Windows 7 it does work normally when starting it using the menu.

I've played around with the launcher configuration, especially with the options 'HideCommandLineWindow' and 'RunAsAdmin' but it doesn't seem to affect it.

Greetings,

I am trying to create a launcher for ePSXe (http://www.epsxe.com/).
I know there has been brief mention of this application here- (https://portableapps.com/node/4347). The forum topic has 2 posts, one mentioning that it's already portable (As far as files go, anyway) and that the registry should be something easy to deal with. The post is also 8 years old, leading me to believe no one else desires the PA.c form of this application. The second post mentions to the Original Poster to use a different program.

I'm currently updating one app that has 2 executable files.

I already seen the docs but cloud find more details info about the appicon file naming and cardinality.

In the docs we have:
[Control]
Icons=2
Start=AppNamePortable.exe
Start1=AppNamePortable.exe
Name1=AppName Portable
Start2=AppNamePortable2.exe
Name2=AppName Portable Other Part

So I assume we need at least 6 files (appicon.ico, appicon_16.png, appicon_32.png, appicon2.ico, appicon2_16.png, appicon2_32.png). But in this case the executable from Name1 will not have an icon on the PortableApp menu.
