Using the launcher to make my exe, I have to right click
"runas".

Q:Is their a way to configure the Launcher to do this?

How to reproduce:

For my portable app MiKTeX which is a CommonFiles plugin, I want users to be able to access a couple of the administrative options by using small external apps that call the appropriate files from within CommonFiles. Is there a way for this to be done natively in the launcher? Or will I have to resort to using NSIS or batchfile trickery?

Any plans to develop Portable Apps on Android ?

I'm looking for a way to get Chrome Portable to have all the plugins I might need ready for travel. I am a tech for a small telecom company and we have plenty of issues with users not having updated/installed plugins required for some of our main services. The plugins we need would be Java, Flash, and Quicktime. A pre-configured Chrome Portable is my idea to solve this problem without the users needing to figure anything out.

Please let me know if this sounds like a plausible solution, and what I can do to make this happen.

I am currently packaging an application called Asymptote Portable and the one person who actually gives feedback and I are having a strange issue. For some reason, I am able to run test batch files and proper integration in other programs on Windows 8.1 Professional where they cannot run them on Windows XP SP3 or Windows 7 (presumed SP1). This is very strange and I feel we need a third opinion on to why they could have such disparate results. Any help, preferably testing or purely technical assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I started working on QtiPlot which is a software for visualising graphs like Origin but open source.

I have got it working using the following QtiPlotPortable.ini:

[Launch]
ProgramExecutable=QtiPlot\qtiplot.exe
DirectoryMoveOK=yes
SupportsUNC=yes

[Activate]
Registry=true

[RegistryKeys]
qtiplot=HKCU\Software\ProIndependent\QtiPlot
