Portable App Development

Can program WinBox in version portable ?

I would like to create Portable versions Bus Driver.
This game is saving to 'C:\Documents and Settings\{My Profile}\My Documents\Bus Driver'. How I can change this in Portable version to '{Game Dir on FlashUSB}\Data\My Documents'?

This was an old post, but I've started a new post so it can be better organized and less cluttered.

To make a FLASH GAME Standalone.

Go here
Click on this:
Download the Macromedia Flash Player 9 Update for Windows (ZIP, 34.2 MB)

Extract to your drive if you want. I copied it on.

How about someone make PortableApps.com skins for: Firefox, Sunbird, Thunderbird, Nvu, Pidgin (I think), VLC, and any other Portable App that supports skinning?

I know that all the apps on the MPL License cannot come with the skins pre-installed, so, for those apps, the skin could be available for download on the App page. On the other apps, under GPL license, the skin could pre-installed and stetted-up as default.

I am going to attempt to create a portable app using NSIS. To conform with the rest of portableapps.com . I have already Created the App there is only one problem. The program saves to a file and i want it to save to a file on the portable device. How will I solve changing drive letter issues as the program requires a filepath to save to.

*** EDIT: This should actually go without saying, but if you aren't going to be constructive don't expect me to be at all respectful when calling you on it. Criticism is perfectly acceptable -- and will be respected -- but there is a HUGE difference between constructive criticism and a display of idiocy.
I apologize to the forum owner and his administrators, but apparently I've managed to anger other people with a simple request for information. ***

I apologize if this is confusing, but....

Just to showcase how much time I have, I've created a XML version of the AppInfo.ini including a Document Type Definition. Please note that although Firefox says the document is not valid XML, it lies. It's because it doesn't parse external DTDs.

Technical details follow.

Portable Application Information Description (PAID)
Each PAID document must conatin "appinfo" as the root element. The children of this element must be "name", "description", "guid", "version", "icons" and "launchers". It may also contain the optional "copyright" element.

Ok, so I'm trying to set the enviroment variable in NSIS for a program, and this one is from John's aMSN launcher for the UserProfile path. I tried this, and the programs settings are created in the Data folder under "Data\settings\Application Data\AppName"

I was wondering if the PortableApps.com Installer was going to be released with the exceptions for freeware/non-gpl-opensource programs soon. In the latest version of Thunderbird Portable it still only has the exception for PA apps. If not might it be possible for me to get permission to use it with Xenon and keep the MIT License?

Hi!
This is the First Commandment of portable software, isn't it? Well, may be Second. But any way, at the top of Ten Commandments.
While testing some apps on BetaTesting forum (and my own one, nobody is absolute :)), I noticed that many of them left traces in registry, in very common places like OpenWithList, MRUCache and so on. As for me, I just forgot to call the cleaning procedure after adding some new features to my app.
