Portable App Development

Hi,

I have a question. I have a program I have made portable. It requires registering a .dll that in turn requires admin rights. I have used a custom.nsh file to register and unregister the .dll. IOW I don't need help with that - it's working....

My question is, I don't understand how PortableApps uses it's own registery files without writing to the host pc's registry at all.

Hi
I searched in this forums did not find my Qusetion.
I want to ask. how to write value when value is string type. in PortableApps.com Launcher
suhch as
[Activate]
Registry=true
[RegistryValueWrite]
HKCU\Software\AppName\Key\Value2=REG_SZ:AppName ;Value2=$AppDirectory\AppName\App.exe

I tried this one also but did not work
HKCU\Software\AppName\Key\"$AppDirectory\AppName\App.exe"=REG_SZ:AppName

I'm working on updating the Msys2 Portable setup that was posted a while ago, and am having trouble getting the launcher generator to generate launchers for the new build systems that Msys2 has (the current portable setup only has the Msys, Mingw32, and Mingw64 launchers, and Msys2 now supports Clang32, Clang64, and UCRT64 as well). When running the generator, it only creates a new Msys2Portable.exe file, ignoring the other launcher ini files.

hello everyone
I've just started learning how to create portable programs, I don't know much and I'm asking for your help. I was trying to create a portable version of the Defraggler program. But the program still leaves the keys in the registry. Can you please tell me what I did wrong and how can I fix it? I will leave a link to the portable version of my program so that you can check for yourself if you want.

A while ago, I filed a bug report for SumatraPDF (https://portableapps.com/node/65018). When I open multiple files, by marking them in Windows Explorer and pressing the Return key, SumatraPDF will overwrite its settings with a default version.

I experimented with \SumatraPDFPortable\App\AppInfo\Launcher\SumatraPDFPortable.ini and added the following parameters to [Launch]:
SplashTime=2000
LaunchAppAfterSplash=true
CloseEXE=%PAL:PortableAppsDir%\SumatraPDFPortable.exe

Is there a way for the launcher to run a shortcut which has parameters?
When I double click on the shortcut it works.
When I use the PAF launcher it fails.
This is on Windows 10 Pro 21H2.
The shortcut is a ".lnk" file but Windows hides the file extension.
This is the launcher command: ProgramExecutable=V2LogCollector\log-collector.lnk

Hi, I've been using PortableApps really useful. Recently, my C drive is getting full and I had to move some folders to D drive. Unfortunately, many portable apps eat lots of rooms, so they also have to be moved. In order to solve it, I had to install another PortableApps in D drive and it's not so pleasant.
If you add a folder path function, so I don't need to launch two PortableApps. It will be very useful. Many of the recent apps provide it and I think PortableApps also can do it.
Thanks for the wonderful app!

When "Refresh App Icons" is called, a search is made for folder.exe. If you can't find it, you should search for folder.lnk. Then I could also include installed programs in the menu. That would be great.
