Portable App Development

Hello. I use portable apps at work and it could be interesting for me to be able to change the music, video and pictures folders for the folders I really use.

For the time I use them to save files of my work, not music, nor videos, nor pictures.

I am looking to run a batch script when portable apps is started to set some environment variable to add some of my command line programs to the path. What is the best way to do this, I was thinking of making the script start PA after it has set the path is this ok? or is there something else?

Hi everybody,

I've created a portable version of Yahoo! Widget engine, and I want to upload it as an installer and share the Launcher with the community.

But, I've a problem with NSIS during compilation.

The Portableapps.com Installer gives me the following error

 Function: "PreWelcome"
StrCmp "$AUTOMATEDINSTALL" "true" equal=, nonequal=PreWelcomeEnd
StrCmp expects 3-4 parameters, got 5.
Usage: StrCmp str1 str2 label_to_goto_if_equal [label_to_goto_if_not]

i am currently using windows 7 and i don't like office official installed version it's like a cancer to the computer with all this msi files and etc so i'm using portable version but now it's stop working any chance someone here will do something about it in the near future?

10x in advance.:)

Hi, I've coded a simple unread mail notifier, and was wondering if you guys thought it's worth to beta test it here. The program is fully portable (uses an ini file, no registry access except for run at startup option.) and was coded in Delphi 7 using the Indy Project . Download here: here (about 350kb) I'm not sure about Vista compatibility, could someone please verify this?

I habe installed gnu cash portable, It works but when i want to print a result i just get a correct preview but the print itself is a mirror print which can only be read from the back of the paper.

how can i change this

Hi,

I'm an software author from Rizone Technologies and is in the process of developing many portable applications. All fully portable and all freeware. However, I need people that can test these tools for me and give some feedback. Or if you really don't have time, download them and use them.

How to personalize the new version of the launcher? Previous version was much easier to change themes, user´s picture, etc. For example, how do I put a picture\scene in the place of the normal pop-up window?
Thanks.

Hi.

This is my first post here and I have looked around just briefly so this might already have been discussed.

I'm looking in to making a portable apps suit where I have the apps in a place that can be read only and the data separately in it's own path.

Why?
Then I can run from the same place (eg network drive or DropBox) on multiple computers without using the same data.
And I only have to manage the apps in one place.
