Portable App Development

There may be cases where admin privileges are only needed for optional (and possibly very specific functions of) sub-programs or plugins of the main program. That is, cases where the main program doesn't need it. In those cases, it's a major no-no to keep bothering the user. A try_once option would only ask the question one time.

installer.ini might be an alternative place for such an option.

Please consider this.

It seems some Test Releases are hosted in your own host. Is there a way to host there too or is it only reserved for members of Management?

Please rephrase* the word "this" in the following line:

See [Environment] for details on that technique. If possible, avoid using this as it will make relative files passed through the command line fail unless it is only a single file given (which will be automatically corrected).

The documentation doesn't state which of them should be used by default for new apps. Is there any reason not to still use PortableApps.com Installer?

Whatever I put in DefaultData does not get copied to Data. Am I supposed to manually trigger it in launcher.ini? If so, the help has nothing about this.

I did find this unlinked part in v2.1's Segments:

Why in the PortableApps menu bar is not possible to add other links to personal files contained on the USB key. the same as "music", "Documents ", it would be nice to create more personal, especially as there is enough room on the right side of the menu.

Hello.

I want try to portabilize "Age of Empires II" (and his expansion), for my personal use only. I know that it may need admin rights to write some keys in registry, but I don't care about it. The problem is that the game install some fonts on system and I don't know if it's possible to portabilize windows fonts.
