Portable App Development

I'm using FindProc in the CustomCodePostInstall macro in PortableApps.comInstallerCustom.nsh but it's always returning "0" (Process was not found). Is there a reason why this shouldn't work? Everything compiles ok (no errors). The path is correct and the process is running. Honest

Hi All!

Just wanted to post our first attempt at making our free driver updater portable:
http://www.devicedoctor.com/device-doctor-portable.php

It scans any computer for updated drivers and will download the ones you want from our fast servers. It's completely free with no adware.

We haven't done a portable version before but I hope it's good enough to be added to PortableApps.

Thanks,

Collin

He,
where i can find a winrar portable ?

I though I saw this somewher but now can't find Is there a way to create your own suite of portable apps so it's easy to use and install?

In the launchers, the labels 'NoProgramEXE' and 'WarnAnotherInstance' end with 'Abort'. OK, but why don't they 'Goto TheEnd' instead and unload the plugins/clean the TEMP directory etc. while they're at it? It would seem much more sensible and I can't see any problem.

Is there something I'm missing here that would make this inadvisable?

Hi everyone,

I'm making a portable version of Geogebra, but I'm unable to do a launcher which checks without errors if Java is installed on the host PC, or on the USB drive.

I said earlier that I was using external files for the game, thinking it would make the overall file size smaller, but I was wrong.

Game Maker already compresses the images itself, so the file size isn't improved any using external files, and can actually be made worse if you don't use the right bit level (I've actually found out that sometimes 24 bit comes out smaller than 8 bit, so watch out for that).

I hope you guys find this useful, unless I'm actually the only GM user here.

I know the following code for redirecting the 'userprofile'.

System::Call 'Kernel32::SetEnvironmentVariableA(t, t) i("USERPROFILE", "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY\UserProfile").r0'

But I wonder if there will be anyway of redirecting other system folders.

Like the following folders:

'Cookies', 'Local Settings' or even 'Temporary Internet Files' and 'History'

I have tried all sorts of combinations, but nothing seems to do the trick as 'USERPROFILE' does !

This will be my last try, I am out of options !

I have been trying to become a member of the NSIS / Winamp Forum, without any luck !

It keeps giving the message that (my) Email is banned by the administrator.
But it doesn't seem to matter to use a different computer, email or even my girl friend trying to sign up from a different computer, username and email-address.

It keeps on giving the same (standard) message !!!

Sorry. The administrator has banned your email address. To contact the administrator click here

Hey all. Midi here. Just got a couple things I wanna get up here.

QUESTION 1:
I'm making my app in Game Maker 7, so if I use the install creator, is it going to try and modify the program to add the splash screen? If not I can make the splash screen myself, but then that leads to my second question.

QUESTION 2:
If my game gets put on the list here, would I be told of the URL for it before it gets fully released so I can fill out the URL banner on the bottom?
