I need a clear icon/picture of Eclipse for EclipsePortable.

I extracted an all that was inside the eclipse.exe file was a 48x48 file.

So if somebody could link to a CLEAR 256x256 image of Eclipse's icon that would be super helpful.

Thanks.

Okay so I was thinking of making AIM Lite portable.* I thought of making it for PortableApps because using Package Factory (or something like that) I got the program to run on my U3 Powered flash drive. The program runs perfectly, but the only "problem" I encountered is that if you click "Remember Me" or "Save Password", it will write to the Registry. Besides that, it doesn't use the Registry at all. Anyone know how to get around this** or if I don't need to bother with it at all?

*Yes, I know Pidgen can sign onto AIM.

Hi,

I get this error while I'm trying to create the installer.

When I try to use Installer 0.91.3 to make a plugin installer I get this error message

ERROR: AppInfo.ini - Control - Start is missing.

According to Section 6 of PortableApps.com Format0.91 (2009-06-11) "The App\AppInfo directory should be empty" so why is the compiler complaining it cannot find that file?

My plugininstaller.ini file is in Other\Source and App\AppInfo is empty.

As the new version includes some Win7 bug fixes, does that mean we still need to use this?

I know it's marked as fixed over at NSIS but I was just wondering what the word was here.

OK, so I've got "PortableApps.comInstallerCustom.nsh" in the Other\Source directory and it contains -

!macro CustomCodePostInstall
MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONEXCLAMATION `hello`
!macroend

but I can't figure out why I'm not getting anything.

With the new installer, AppCompactor, and menu... we've been getting a lot of people willing to take their time and make PortableApps for the site. As I already know, OliverK made another "Making a PortableApp Guerilla field" or something like that. However, I think it's also a little confusing. I didn't understand any of it and had to had Kevin Porter translate it into human for me when I got here almost a year ago. So I'll be targeting this at somebody with no technology background.
