Portable App Development

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.

Hi, I just found this site.

I'm the author of an application (https://www.pingnoo.com) and I provide a portable version for windows (I'm actually about to push another version which fixes an issue where the settings were stored in a non-portable way.

I'm looking for a way to give feedback on FileZillaPortable_3.53.0.paf.exe that was recently posted to the PortableApps.com project on SourceForge. Can someone please point me in the right direction, as I just keep going in circles.

There is a bug that shows up when using the latest release FileZillaPortable_3.53.0.paf.exe when attempting to connect to an SFTP server on port 22 using SCP. It throws an error stating "invalid xml file"

The previous version 3.52.2 works without issue.

Streamlabs OBS that could be installed into any location. I do not have the installer ready yet, but will work on that!

I want to learn to make portable software. Can anyone guide me. Thanks very much

I'm new to all this and im trying this site out instead.

I would like to make sure that the program never writes to local disk folders such as C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\NAMEAPP.
I tried with

[DirectoriesMove]
Local-App-Data = C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\NAMEAPP

but while the program is running the path is written temporarily which I would like to avoid.

I think you need to redirect folders but I don't know if this is possible.

Thank you and good evening.
