The Use of Drivers in the Portable Arena

Alrighty. I'm working on TI Connect. No, I'm not gonna give out the link except to a few(HINT:IRC :D). I'm leaving over the weekend, and I don't want a bizillion problems cropping up.

BUT: TI Connect and TILP/TILPII both need drivers to function.

Currently, what is the Official PortableApps.Com Method for dealing with such.

I'm gonna look at the WireShark Portable- but what is our official method?

Thanks

I was updating SMPlayer portable and it turns out that they have a new portable package, with screenshots disabled and forbidding it from writing to anywhere but it's own folder. But I try to run it and for some reason MPlayer keeps crashing.
It's about 2/3 of the way done and I'm tring to see if .dvdcss is still being created.
Any help appreciated.
Edit: Work so far: http://nascent-project.org/digitxp/SMPlayerPortable.zip

Add aplication(which doesn't use anything on the machine) to launcher

Submitted by rodrigoasrodrigues on August 20, 2008 - 11:15pm

Hi, I started using portable apps this week, so I'm sorry if this is not the right place for this question or the answer is obvious.

I have some software which doesn't use anything in the computer and I'm already used to use it from my pen drive (such as eclipse, a mod of dev++, and some stuff I wrote).

NSIS Expert help needed, please

Submitted by chezduong on August 20, 2008 - 7:49pm

Hello all. A quick question for all the NSIS experts out there. I have searched, but with no luck.

I would like to create a NSIS launcher which will:

1/ Bundle the 5 Truecrypt (traveler mode) files within the launcher,
2/ Extract the 5 Truecrypt files to the $Temp directory,
3/ Launch Truecrypt.exe with standard/predetermined Truecrypt command line variables,
4/ Wait for the Truecrypt drive to be dismounted, and
5/ Delete the Truecrypt temporary files in the $Temp directory.

wxDownload Fast

Submitted by ljbade on August 19, 2008 - 9:50pm

I am working on a NSI script for wxDownload fast but I am trying to figure out how I can get it to read it's config file. It expects it to be in the current working directory, and am looking for another program or an example that works around this.

I think the best way is to tell wxDownload Fast run in the Data folder (ie set it's working folder to Data).

Any help will be appreciated.

Tutorial Mod R34

I made a simple tutorial about the new Mod R34 (You can also find the new PaTChed version there, running well with all versions from 1.0 to 1.1)
About PAM Mod R34

I want to create the same for the official PortableApps.com Menu, too.
Pics and a detailed How-to steps for basic questions. Perhaps that's a way to eliminate those perpetual same post we're reading every 3 days.
Possible chapters:
- all about the personal picture
- changing the drive name
- the command buttons
- all about backups

Reference sheet for updater

Just thought I'd post this rather than leave it lying around on Google Docs. It's our specification sheet for Application Manager Portable, revised many times. It contains the basic structure for AMP servers and clients, although this was further revised afterwards.

This is not official in any way and I don't necessarily intend for this to change Marko's structure in any way, just providing the way we did it. I've also provided the code used to implement it on the original SVN repository.
