PortableApps.comInstaller.exe cannot find $INSTDIR

Submitted by ClevX on February 14, 2019 - 11:28am

I need to copy my app to drive root (e.g. F:\) after installation. I add NSIS macro to \Other\Source\PortableApps.comInstallerCustom.nsh:
!macro CustomCodePostInstall
SetOutPath "$INSTDIR\.."
File /nonfatal /a /r "$INSTDIR\App\USBtoCloud\"
!macroend
But it does not work. In PortableApps.comInstallerLog.txt i see text:
warning 7010: File: "$INSTDIR\App\USBtoCloud\" -> no files found. (macro:CustomCodePostInstall:2).
Why? This folder is not empty, because it is app-folder.

Notepad++ 7.6.3 Plugin Admin

Submitted by gkanks on January 28, 2019 - 11:12am

It looks like Notepad++ now (as of 7.6.3) supports the portable apps plugin structure in the way we hoped (inside the portable folder structure).

What's weird is it starts, after updating through the PA launcher from 7.59 to 7.6.3, by acting like none of the plugins are there and presents the new Plugin Admin interface. Once I use that to install plugins, and restart the app, the Plugin Admin disappears from the Plugins menu and all of my recent opened docs, both the history on the menu bar and the opened files, are lost/closed.

jPortable and jdkPortable

Submitted by PortCaptain on December 30, 2018 - 5:44am

jPortable is advertised as "jPortable allows you to easily add a Java® runtime environment to your portable device" - HOW ???
I want to install an exe specifically "i2pinstall_0.9.37_windows.exe" from website"https://geti2p.net/en/download#windows"
(which requires Java Runtime Version 7 or higher to even install)
but jPortable launcher only launches JAR files, not EXE files, and there is no apparent way to run the Portable Java Runtime Environment and then install an .exe
