Portable App Development

I would like to try my hand at creating a wrapper for a small flash card program. I have installed it and run it and found some registery settings that are created and used. I would like to find out more about how I can manage this is NSIS.

Could someone please point me to a nice easy example of how registery settings are handled? I have had a look at a few, but all of the scripts I look at are HUGE!! I just want to see a nice easy one to get my head around how to do it.

I'm making an PA compatible installation for WinVICE and I have some questions and remarks.

(Winvice is a 8-bit Commodore emulator)

* There are more than one executable. Do I need to make a launcher for each of them?

Yeah, I wanna have a splash screen for my portable app but where do I put the $PLUGINSDIR (or where is it) folder (where the nsi tells me to put the jpeg of the splash).

it's a question a little stupid but i don't have enough time to look the nsi scripts... it's possible to access and modify any m3u file? if is so, plz, a little example to do it... thnx.

Ok, when I use my Regshot Portable on my HDD the settings are retained. But when used on my thumbdrive they are not retained strange huh? I even downloaded it again onto my hdd and installed it to my HDD and TD and the settings are retained on my hdd (when I used it on my hdd) but they are not retained on my td (when used on my td).

Please download it and tell me if you are having the same problem.

Also here the .nsi file: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/armogohmasuites/RegshotPortable.nsi

Yeah I am making a launcher 4 RapidSVN Portable, and it won't retain its settings, (the keys in Registry created by it are eradicated but the keys are not found in the Data folder). Also it leaves behind a folder called Subversion in Appdata, with 3 folders (all are empty)in it and 2 configuration files (they have no file extensions though).

Heres the launcher .nsi: https://downloads.sourceforge.net/armogohmasuites/RapidSVNPortable.nsi

Hiiiii........:)

how i can make the programe favorit me to the portableapplication

thanks alot......

I am sure someone must have run into a similar problem before. I am putting Freemind (the beloved java mind map/tree structure organiser) on my PortableApps stick. Seeing how nice it is to work with the menu I am dead set on building a menu launcher with NSIS - after all I love the apps and the menu and I cringe every time I click through folders to launch my app. What happens is:

1) I put a copy of jawa into PortableApps\CommonFiles

I am planning on putting CDeX onto my thumb drive. Since CDeX is portable already (based on https://portableapps.com/node/1010) I'm entertaining the idea of compressing the exe to see if it would improve the performance while running from the thumb drive.

I was looking at different compression options and I stumbled across an open source compression tool call PackMan that is supposed to compress exe files. Since I've never heard of it before I was wondering if anybody else has used it and if it is any good.

I wish to make Process Explorer portable. So you know what I'm taking about, I'll give this description from Portable FreeWare

Process Explorer V11.0
