Well guys,

Hello,just registered and wanna say hi.I dedicated most of my free time i have to create portable apps from normal applications..eg tuneup utilities programs and some major applications.
I use thinstall and virtual pc.i also use portable apps from your site.

I've wiki-fied the PortableApps.com Development Test page so now developers and moderators can update the app lists as apps are added and updated. All revisions are kept and marked with the author name and you can easily see the revisions and the diffs between revisions from the "Revisions" tab on the page.

A few rules for editing:

• Edit only on the page or using a text editor (no WYSIWYG editors)
• Only edit if you are comfortable hand coding HTML

also, in Windows Vista (home basic), do dlls in system32 directory have special attribute? Seems simply copying dlls to system32 (with admin previliege) won't work, got error loading dll message, but in fact the dll is in system32 directory.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

I am sick and tired of finding new limitations in developing a Microsoft Access database every day as it has to run on my school's computer where I have absolutely no rights other than to use the computer with windows XP SP1 and Office XP SP1. I can not even change the height of the task-bar!

As I have a number of collegues that would love to run my software I would like to start a new development project, namely I want to develop a portable client that can interface an MDB-file that also lives on a USB-stick.

Launchers.
I'm new. Where can I find them? People say, "look at the launchers for similar programs to see what needs to be done." If they are already part of the portable program, how can I view the scripts used in the launchers?

How can I add a custom page (with just my own text and 'next' button) to PortableApps.com installer?

I made a new thread for this because this one was getting cluttered. See here

Well, yesterday, Google released it's new open source browser 'Chrome'. Notice I said "open source". Let's get this thing on thumbdrives across the globe. And, yes, it's fast and gorgeous.
