Hi, all:

Not sure is this the right forum for this post. I am quite new about "portable apps". so please forgive my ignorance.

I need to program an application (from scratch) that view/edit/save user's data. The application and data will be put on the flash drive and distributed to end user.

Suite Installation Problems

Submitted by crazymike703 on December 31, 2007 - 10:59pm

Okay first of all I am a n00b so try not to get frustrated with me. I'm trying to install the Suite Standard Edition on my 2GB Dane-Elec USB drive. The executable file opens and the program runs. I select the drive and click install and the progress windows pops up. After ten minutes there is still no progress.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance everyone!

Parameters?

How do I pass a parameter to an executable that appears on the PortableApps menu?

For instance, I am using Truecrypt and when I launch Trucrypt I want it to auto mount my favorite volume. In order to do this I need "truecrypt.exe /a". I have looked all over but I have not been able to find any documentation for PortableApps. Sorry if I'm missing it.

Thanks,

Edub

PA for OS X

Submitted by CJR on December 30, 2007 - 9:42pm

I own a couple of computers and I love using Portable Apps on my windows machines but it would be really great if there was a version for OS X. I have a few friends that also wish for an OS X version of Portable Apps. Of course it would be a completely separate platform with different apps but it would be a great future release.
