Portable App Development

I need someone or step by step tutorial that can help me to create my first portable app.

Thanks

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!

Sorry, but I just have this one question...

Could anybody tell me how to get the thing to launch?

TuxGuitar

Hello,

you can find here my toolkit for my own porable apps (I call them "pocket apps"). I developped this basic toolkit two years ago. At that time I was deeply impressed by PortableApps suite but unfortunatly my favorite apps were not available (gvim, unison and jbrout). SO that I start my own "fork" of PortableApps suite to fulfill my needs.

While checking the forums at the 'other church', I noticed that m^(2) posted a program that creates portable shortcuts. He has a link to download his 1.0 version with source under the WTFPL, Version 2 license. Your guys are more experienced with license rules than I am, so I'll leave it to you to determine how to best use that information.
Here is the link to the forum thread:

OpenOffice 3.0 Beta 2 is released. Can you make it as portable application, please?

My flash drive was crimping for space so I moved my development and Media software to the flash drive my dad gave me when he came back from Omaha. Now I have 2 drives I use simultaneously and only one menu. Afterwards I was looking at Outlook and realized that the menu, when launched, if it's a diff. drive, it could be possible that another expeandable pane could be implemented into the menu. The menus would run independently of each other, just if another instance of it exists that is not in the same location, the original instance would allow switching to the new instance and vice versa.

Is there a way to change splashscreens in portable apps?
Resource Hacker didn't show it in the exe file?

In band, I got bored and my mind dozed off to video and DVDStyler Portable which reminded me of CamStudio which reminded me that lots of people want to know how to develop apps. So I thought- why not make a video?
So the video would show this stuff:

• Choosing the app
• Downloading
• Get Regshot
• Shot 1
• Install to local
• shot 2
• etc...

I'd do it if I had enough time, but summer is really absent minded...

Yo I was messing around with autohotkey earlier and I came up with this small script for those of you who want to put a file in an ahk script and type a password of your choice to extract it. This could be useful when sending files to friends over email or whatever, and for an added security measure you could also actually encrypt it. So here it is and there is also misleading text saying it will delete the file if password is typed wrong but all it will do is move it to the Temp directory and rename the file.
