Portable App Development

How to copy the file in PortableApps.comInstallerCustom.nsh?
I want to copy when installer is running,
from "/appnamePortable/app/appname/res/aaa.png" to"/appnamePortable/app/appname/res/menu/bbb.png".
How to write PortableApps.comInstallerCustom.nsh?

So I have all the files for my portable app in the PortableApps.com Format Specification (3.0). Now how do I package them up into a installer?

So, i just got started and thought it would be nice to be able to carry around a portable linux distro on my flash drive, so i tried to make a portable QemuManager. I haven't got to test it much, but here's a link to the installer if you'd like to give it a test-run.

I know it runs, at least.

Hi All,

Anyone working on a portable version of RabbitMQ (Messaging that just works)?

Would require Erlang too. Very interested in a portable version running server as stand alone application instead of windows service. Willing to help out with repackaging and testing. New to portable application building. There are existing windows installation packages out there for setting up rabbitMQ and Erlang.

What would be a good language for developing a portable app?

The only language I really know is C# and that's obviously not very portable...

I've a nice program which has keys in the registry. I've found online following two documentation:
Dealing with the registry and Launcher - Registry.

I can now deal with the registry. But I look forward to set the correct Diretory-Pats in the registry on first start. How is this possible?

Hey guys,

I wanted my copy of PortableFirefox to cleanup the leftovers of Flash when quitting Firefox.

According to the launcher.ini documentation I made a FirefoxPortable.ini under FirefoxPortable\App\AppInfo\Launcher and inserted

[DirectoriesCleanupForce]
1=%APPDATA%\Roaming\Macromedia
2=%APPDATA%\Local\Macromedia


However it's not working and the Macromedia folders are still sitting there after I quit Firefox...

Any suggestions?

thanks

hello

I trying create a fully portable app launcher and I find some difficulties.

What I need is launch command before and after myportableapp.exe

sequence example:
1. command for windows firewall create exception
2. ProgramExecutable=myportableapp.exe
3. command for windows firewall delete exception

I would like to say thanks to John for helping me to build the package of the FreeCommander XE 2014 PortableApps.
You can find the download on the site http://freecommander.com/fc_downl2_en.htm.

Marek

I was just now on the Free Commander website and saw that they had a PortableApps app format download for:

- FreeCommanderPortable_2014_Build_650.paf.exe -

http://www.freecommander.com/fc_downl2_en.htm

This isn't the same as your site as it is stating
version 2009.02b

I was wondering if this is a legit download or whether I should wait for the PortableApps.com site to be updated, if it is to be done, as this version may be a bit pre-mature.

thanks in advance for you help
