Help Needed

Submitted by ZachOkeefe on August 7, 2007 - 3:22pm

I have a program that I want to make portable. It's a game, and I know that it ahs at least 2 registry keys. I don't know enough about NSIS to make it myself, and I was just wondering if I could find someone who would be willing to process the files for me. Help would be appreciated.

Help request NSIS/Java/Azureus

Submitted by RMB Fixed on August 7, 2007 - 11:18am

I have just started learning NSIS yesterday .
What I want to do is make a launcher for Azureus to
replace the original "Azureus.exe" because it is made with a
non-open source tool (exe4j) .
I can launch Azureus with the launcher I made as long as
I don't try to pass any command line options to it but I want the launcher
to define where the settings and default install-dir are located .
here's what the script looks like so far :

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Name "Azureus"
Caption "Azureus"
Icon "Azureus.ico"
OutFile "Azureus.exe"

Autoruns

Can someone please help make me a launcher?

I want to have autoruns show up in my PAM. I know there are other menu's out there that do not require a launcher or exe to show up on the menu, but I am sticking with John's for the time being.

I think the problem is the program is actually a viewer and not an .exe

You could even email me wsm233 at gmail dot com.

I've upgraded GaimPortable to PidginPortable :)

Submitted by ShaJunxing on August 3, 2007 - 11:34am

Since gaim has been renamed to pidgin and upgraded version for a long time, I couldn't endure any longer, so I modified GaimPortable by myself.

First, change all the path and file names including "gaim" to "pidgin", open the source file "PidginPortable.nsi" and do the same change. Note that the names in the source file are case sensive. Pidgin uses a new environment variable named "PURPLEHOME" instead of the old one named "GAIMHOME", so the replacement should also be made in the source file "PidginPortable.nsi".

I'm using internet from my faculty by network connection. All the PCs connected to the admin PC and monitored by netsupport

Yesterday discovered that one of the employee at the admin section was stealing my portable data by netsupport, so is there any way to stop him from stealing through the network?

I stopped use portable apps cuz i don't want to make my personal e-mails available for common !
