THE NEW RELEASE OF THE PORTABLEAPPS.COM INSTALLER IS HERE:
https://portableapps.com/node/19015

The PortableApps.com Installer allows you to easily create a custom installer for any app without having to write any code. You just need to edit a simple configuration file that has comments within and have the latest NSIS and the FindProc and MoreInfo plugins installed on your PC.

Calculator (via Firefox)

I really love the open source Idea, but I'm a noob when it comes to scripting and programming. So I'm playing with batch files atm. As per my post here. Also I've been trying to find an open source calculator to replace the MS calc.exe (from XP) that I have been using. Plenty of "freeware" no open source though. SpeedCrunch is too big for my needs.

I know that it is rather easy to search for a registry key with the Registry plugin but doesn anyone know a methode to search for a registry value?

My problem is this:
PopMan can be set to autostart with Windows and it does that by writing a registry value called

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run:
PopMan: "J:\PortableApps\PopManPortable\App\PopMan\PopMan.exe -minimize"

Sorry, but how do you make a program portable?

HOW DO YOU MAKE A PROGRAM PORTABLE!

Sorry for being so dumb but I can't find a tutorial anywhere on portableapps.
I really like the idea of making an app portable but I just can't find out how.

I know that john gave a short guide here, but it doesn't tell the whole process.

Is there a guide anywhere? Please post a link here.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
