New Application "ManaPortable"

Hi,
I have ported the Mana client from http://www.manasource.org & another similar game client from http://tmw.cetki.com/4144 to PortableApps.com format

I have uploaded the installer at http://manaportable.googlecode.com . Icons & splash screen yet need be upgraded. Otherwise it's working fine.
I would be grateful if it's tested, constructively criticized or so. Hoping for an initiative from the admin bodies to try to release it officially in the games-app directory of this website.

I would really like to see a portable C++ compiler. I can not find one on line and would be really happy if i could have one with me whenever i am at a computer instead of just at my home computer.

Recuva, CCleaner, Defragler, Speccy

If you go to these sites:

http://www.piriform.com/recuva/download/portable
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/portable
http://www.piriform.com/defraggler/download/portable
http://www.piriform.com/speccy/download/portable

you get them FREE and they are legal

so what you do with all 4 is:
open them with WIN-rar or such a program, put it in your L:\PortableApps (or, you could put in a separate folder with in that folder, as I did like L:\PortableApps\ccleaner the drive letter will vary with computer) then open, and use them.

${registry::RestoreKey} ?

Submitted by Mark Sikkema on April 30, 2010 - 8:18am

In addition to the Unicode plug-in test TAKE 2,
I found out that ${registry::RestoreKey} is not waiting to return till the process of restoring the key is finished. Which has the potential to give random results when a .reg file to be restored is a fair size and/or additional registry handling is being done straight after restoring the .reg file(this is what PAL will do if there is more then one key to back-up/delete)!

help with simple step by step

Submitted by darko.bazulj on April 29, 2010 - 9:33pm

Hi,

I'm using portable applications for some times and now I would like to try create one by myself.
I read forum posts and text on site but I'm not sure how to do it or from where to start.

Can someone show simple step by step process for single .exe program or point me on right direction.
Putty, Process explorer or something similar.

Thanks.
