Portable App Development

Hi,
I use CDEx portable 1.7.9, in Win7 64bit, Japanese.
Converting CD to mp3 with Japanese title or tags, I have error. The converting is done, but editing tags isn't done with an error alert per every music.
Perhaps, CDEx Portable includes CDEx(Unicode).
In Japanese environment, we have to use CDEx(Multibyte).
In original CDEx installer, I can chose Unicode ver. / Multibyte ver.
I want also choose on CDEx portable Installer.

Thank you.

Hi All,

Need some help. I am presently stymied with trying to update one of my apps AquaSnap.

Author apparently added authenticode to his program. When I try to run it via launcher it will not load, same with Gord and even developer himself. However when he removes the authenticode all works as it was before and as expected.

So basically my questions is is the launcher checking and if so what is it checking? Otherwise I lost.

I'm writing a portable app for a game, but said game stores it's data in My Games in the Documents folder. To make said app portable I've got two choices if I have read the documentation correctly:

- Use [Enviroment] in launcher.ini to set the folder like this:
USERPROFILE=%PAL:DataDir%\1.0-alpha

- Use [DirectoriesMove] to move the folder to a subdirectory in /Data like this:
exampleggame=%DOCUMENTS%

Which of these two is typically used, and why?

I read through the "Creating A Portable App: A Guerilla Field Guide" post, but I still have some questions on how to go about making a portable app.

1. How do I clean install a program?
2. Is there anything I should know about making a program written in C++ portable?

HI everybody!!

My app require to write a key in:
HKLM\Software\Appname\Key

I write it with:
[RegistryKeys]
AppName=HKLM\Software\AppName

In a 32bit enviroment all is OK.
In a 64bit environment not work.
Because the launcher not store in:
HKLM\Software\Appname\
but only in
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Appname\

How can I solve?

Thanks

Hi,

I would like to know if you are planning to release the portable version of Google Chrome Beta 47.0.2526.73

Thanks

What do I use in my launcher .ini file if I want to discard a registry setting (in HKCU) that has changed whilst the app is in use and therefore revert back to the original setting?

Thanks

Are there any icon sets available for use while a project is in development?

I know, old topic. But relevant and times do change. Where is a good place to host a portable app for download when the app isn't open source. This one is freeware.

So what would the current thinking be on a Python Portable app. Should placement of the python language folder be in X:\PortableApps\PythonPortable? Or into the CommonFiles folder, ie. X:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\python?
