Portable App Development

I just started using a PortableApps app in order to improve the page about that option on our FOSS wiki. I hope to add a page about how a portable version (as a complement to a normal install) can expand options.

Download & installation went well, except for a few minor ambiguity hitches regarding what was included in the Portable build.

If you have an 3rd Party Application (non-PortableApps Format), and its a jar file, it should show up as an launchable program inside the Launcher, assuming the user has one of the two Java Runtimes installed

Screenshot with the two I am talking about

This would help with the portable nature of the launcher, as while I do have a Program that I have written myself for minecraft that can be configured to serve this purpose, it is still not the best way to do it,

Hello everyone!
Is it possible to run multiple times some portable app(without installation) on Windows 10 independent instances at the same time?
I tried to find the answer on the internet, and I found the answer only for applications that must installed, but I need solution for application that runs without installation.
Thanks for any help!

Hello!

I've been trying my hardest to make a portable version of Discord for my personal uses, and I have been able to portabalize all of the folders, but not all of the registry entries.

I am trying to portablise an application suite that consists of three separate applications. Individually, this is no problem, I have done the three launcher.inis and they all run fine as separate PortableApps.

The problem is, all three apps use common directories in \Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\[AppPublisher]\Common and \ProgramData\[AppPublisher]\Common to store dictionaries, clipboard data and other things, data that can be shared across all three apps in the suite.

Hi there,

I'm trying to make some of my favourite, old games portable by using Portable Apps Launcher and I'm now stuck with
Need for Speed Underground...

For anyone who would like to test/play with it around, may feel free to try out
REMEMBER you have to put inside the App Folder the game files!

So what's my problem?

So its possible cause theres the editor inside of the installer of the exe file
it can be done by using 7zip but it takes a really long time.
but it works so yeah

I just installed (April 9, 2021) a "Required Update" to Portable App which I keep on a flash drive and during the installation virtually all of my data files were deleted from the flash drive. I would be very careful with the update and recommend not installing it until a further explanation is provided by the software developer.
