Portable App Development

I can make a portable Minecraft launcher.
It can launch your Minecraft game straight from your flash drive.

I can teach you how to make it, right here on this spot.

*Note that this is for Microsoft Windows, not Mac!*

Make a new folder. Rename it anything you want.

On the inside of the new folder, make two more folders.
One should be called "bin", and the other called "data".
Obviously, remove the quotation marks.

Then make a new .txt file.
Open the .txt file and type this in:

SET APPDATA=%CD%\data
bin\minecraft.exe

Although KVIrc removes some QT entries, there's a couple that are missed:
Qt Factory Cache 4.8\com.trolltech.qt.QIconEngineFactoryInterface:
Qt Factory Cache 4.8\com.trolltech.qt.QIconEngineFactoryInterfaceV2:

QuteCom leaves the following entries in the registry:
HKCU\Trolltech\OrganizationDefaults\Qt Factory Cache 4.5\com.trolltech.Qt.QImageIOHandlerFactoryInterface
HKCU\Trolltech\OrganizationDefaults\Qt Plugin Cache 4.5.false

I have thought of a BRILLIANT idea! What if somebody made an add-on to the Portable Apps Platform that simulates a registry and all so you can install FULL programs that require a registry to PA!

The desktop TweetDeck app was discontinued in May 2013 by Twitter, so the TweetDeck Portable app no longer works and cannot be downloaded. Will it be removed from the app directory?

I'm currently trying to portablize a .NET application. As we expect .NET to be available on the machines where it will, it doesn't matter that it's not really portable.

At least we want to check for an installed .NET version. So I was happy to find the UsesDotNetVersion parameter in AppInfo.ini. I started the App on a PC without the required .NET and expected to some kind of dialog.

Nothing happened. So here are my questions:

• Is this feature already implemented?
• What behaviour is to expect when .NET is missing?

Hi!

I think, my first version of portable jEdit 5.0 is good enough for a beta test. Where should I upload?

Sorry, but I still want to ask what FileWrite actually does? When should I use it? Thanks.

As you might have seen I'm trying to make jEdit portable.

While I was working on the [FileWriteN] sections I noticed some shortcomings.

I think the only rally valuable type is the "Replace" as all the others simply seem to spit out some, more or less, fixed lines.

What I wanted to do, for example, is to replace something in an XML file.
