Portable App Development

Hi there!

I am not sure if this is the right forum but hope so.

I think it would be wonderful, if someone could make a Spotify app. I have not the possibilities to install it on the harddrive. So I would be thrilled if this wish of mine could come true.

Best Regards Napoleon.

You want a coldfusion developer server with database for usb or portable device.
Just check out CFserverUSB Portable (CFM & MySQL): https://sourceforge.net/projects/cfserverusb/

Hello,
I would like to know how the Portable Apps Menu provides a directory for install to the installer program, and additionally how it automates the process.

Thanks!

I am trying to Portable a app for a developer and I tried the launcher but that didn't do it. The app install items in Microsoft Shared but I am completely lost on the registry entries and things like that. Can someone take a look at the app and tell me what I can do?

Name:PortableApps.com Developers Kit
Category:Development
Description:

PortableApps.com Developers Kit is a specific multi program launcher with all the programs necessary for making portable applications. PAD-Kit is simple to use and it is self explanatory program.

I made this for my self but I saw the potential help that it can be to other developers like my self. I hope you like it as mush as I do.

I have been working on a simple Flash game player called Game Launcher. All made by me. My problem is that my application launches from explorer itself on my flash drive great... but when I click it on the PA Platform, it disappears and my application does not load.

I would really like to see it at least launch before I perfect the browser platform that runs the .swf game. Everything about the app is below.

App
...Appinfo
......Icons
......Appinfo.ini
......installer.ini
Data
...Games(where the .swf's are stored)
Other
...Help
......Images
...Appsource

I know the majority of PortableApps releases don't rely on XULRunner, but some do. Since XULRunner weighs in at a hefty 22MB, wouldn't it be a good idea to create one XULRunner installer, which would put XULRunner in Common Files (like Java Portable does with Java), instead of bundling XULRunner with every app that needs it?
PAL could also get another Activate entry to benefit from this:

[Activate]
XULRunner=true

Has anyone here had any trouble with RegShot on Windows 7?

I usually do my PortableApp development on a WinXP VM, but the graphics drivers don't work for some games, so I tried running RegShot on Windows 7 and it stops responding, never to return. I tried running it as administrator, but that didn't fix the problem. Has anyone else had this problem?

Are there any other programs with similar functionality that other people have used that might work on Windows 7?

Thanks,

Andy

I was looking for how to make an icon appear on the tray with Nsis. I found this: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/NotifyIcon_plug-in

but its not working. Not even the examples. I compiled them and they only showed a blank spot where the icon should be.

Any ideas?

Hi, I'm new here, and I want to get my development environment portable.
At beginning I wanted to make some "easy" apps portable. For example K-Meleon, CCleaner. So I wrote some easy "launcher.ini" and named them CCleanerPortable.ini and so on. The PortableApps Launcher Generator generated me the required Launcher files. But starting them don't work. They crash immediatly with the error:

.../local settings/Temp/nsa21F.tmp/launcher.ini not found.

I have no idea why. Please help.

Solution: PackageVersion in Appinfo.ini has to be like 1.2.3.4.
