Need jumpdrive app programmer.

Submitted by sciman on December 15, 2007 - 8:26pm

Hi
I am looking for a programmer who can create a small app that automatically puts a border around the screen of the computer when the jump drive is installed. And somehow be able to lock the file so it cannot be easily removed or located. I can pay via Paypal.

Thanks for any input or interest as I can explain further.

I know it's not opensource / freeware, but for any developers that use it, it does work from the thumb drive just copy the zend folder over from the install directory.

just need to have a program that calls the zde.exe for the menu to work.

Localization Question - (For John)

Submitted by Patrick Patience on December 15, 2007 - 1:12am

For some of my Apps like Task Coach, and BonkEnc, they have tons on languages that don't take much space, so obviously I'd use the installer to write the correct language to the INI string, config file, or registry file, etc.

I was wondering, for these apps, almost all the needed languages for the installer are localized in the installer localization forum post. Would is be okay if I went and grabbed the ones I needed? Or are we waiting for some kinda finalization on them?

Making your own Portable App - help

Submitted by Melisa on December 14, 2007 - 1:22pm

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum.
I have downloaded the Portable App Creator and tried to create my own Portable App by following the instruction on the Portable App Creator. However, when I copy the shortcut to my flashdrive, I get an error message saying:

"Windows can not find ....D:\...\....exe. Make sure you type the name correctly"

This happened after I uninstalled the original application from my drive.

Which steps did I miss? Anyhelp is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Melisa

Portabelize - Make INI driven application portable

Submitted by rookie on December 11, 2007 - 6:38am

I am no professional programmer but some time ago I needed to run an old INI driven application from USB drive and I got tired of updating the INI file each time I launched the program so I decided to write a little helper for that.
Portabelize is a utility for launching ini file controlled applications from USB drives.

[Obsolete] Portable Application Template 2.7.3 released

Submitted by Klonk on December 10, 2007 - 3:13pm

Do not use this. Use the PortableApps.com Launcher instead.

What ist it for?
It helps you to create a clean portable application. This means no traces are left on the host computer and the application doesn't (normally) have to be changed in any way. (Maybe some configuration files)

Where can I get it?

use "Save As..." in your browser.
