Portable App Development

ey Portable Apps, I am happy to announce that as of today, the Xfire Portable development project is back up and running. I am going under a new name, as I am no longer iTechNewsDaily. I will be moving the entire project to this forum thread. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.
Application: XFire Portable
Category: Games

What's going on? False positive?

According to ClamWin every single [programname]Portable.exe on my system includes a virus named: Win.Adware.Downware-419.

That includes portables developed way back in time exclusivly by/for me.

All setup (paf.exe) files are also "infected"...

Avast does not say anything about viruses though.

Scanned my system with a Clamwin virus definition dated May 7:th and NO viruses where found...

Hi guys, I'm new on the dev scene and currently producing an app that can Copy, Move or Sync (update new) files, I originally only wanted a sync capability but through testing the code I've written to copy files to another destination seems to do it faster than that of the native copy and paste, so I thought I'd add that in too.

Hi there,

I have versions of firefox (29.0.1 and 27.0.2) that I need portable app's for but portable apps currently do not support this. I download the 29.0.1 .exe from firefox, extract the content, pull the firefox runnable exe and replace the it with the portable one from the PortableApp but this does not work. How can I generate a portable Firefox runnable exe from versions of firefox that are not offered on this site?

Thank you

I have just installed EMET 4.1 from Microsoft and I have successfully enabled some of the advanced features.

But when I turn on ASLR 'Always on' - Portable Apps will not start properly.

I see the following error:

Application popup: PortableAppsUpdater.exe - Application Error : The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.

I can launch the GUI directly from the Portable Apps folder on the USB drive, and I can launch several apps, but many display the same error.

John,

I suggest adding .ora to the list as a recognized filetype, showing as an image. It is an open replacement for .psd. See here for further info.

Hello,
is a portable app creator as Cameyo or thinapp of portable apps planned? It should be simple to create portableapps like PortableApps applications.

If this isn't the right forum I'm happy for it to be shifted elsewhere.

I know this isn't exactly new but I'm wondering if anyone has any strong feelings about a preferred portable python?

I'm working on building GnuCash with python bindings (something famously tricky on Win so desirable outside of the PA universe as well as within) but figured I may as well go the whole hog and do it portably too.

Thoughts?

Is SRWare Iron compressed using AppCompactor?

If so, which compression method was used to do so without causing problems with the performance or operation of the browser? I've tried compacting other random programs, just to see if it would work. It does compact, but I'd get error messages when the program would open or after doing certain things with the browser.

I am thinking about developing a new PortableApp but I come from a .NET/Visual Studio background. I looked at the guide but what I am really interested in is what tools and language people find best. If I need to learn new tools and a new language, I want to make the best choice I can. Thanks!
