Error moving application

Submitted by Gaber on June 4, 2019 - 6:10am

Hi,

I'm trying to portabilize an app.
The program works fine, but if I move it to other location, show this error:

The path to MyApp has changed, since it was last started, from MyOldPath to MyNewPath.
Moving portable apps like this is not advised, and some features may not work. Are you sure you want continue?

Why? If I donwload from internet a program and move that, the error not appair...

Thanks.

Hi,

I have a COMPLETE code written in NSIS, so I haven't nothin to write in PortableApps syntax.

Can I compile MyApp.nsi with PA Launcher Generator?

How can I do? Is there a tutorial step by step?

Thanks

(I can't use makensis.exe because it loose the registry backup/restore, while Launcher Generator works fine...).

Is there a portable app for Handbrake. I did a search in portable apps and download the tested version but gives me an error when I try to install it using the portableapp.com program. I have portableapp.com app on my SD Card along with other apps that I download from the portable apps website.

Submitted by terra666 on April 24, 2019 - 4:00am

Hi I have a problem with cleaning up after a portable program run. The situation is thus, I have several programs created by let's say Company which might be run at the same time creating a situation such as below:

HKCU\Software\Company\Program1
HKCU\Software\Company\Program2

as such I cannot use

[RegistryCleanUpForce] nor backup
1=HKCU\Software\Company

as this will delete the other program running.
