Portable App Development

I'm currently trying to portablize a .NET application. As we expect .NET to be available on the machines where it will, it doesn't matter that it's not really portable.

At least we want to check for an installed .NET version. So I was happy to find the UsesDotNetVersion parameter in AppInfo.ini. I started the App on a PC without the required .NET and expected to some kind of dialog.

Nothing happened. So here are my questions:

• Is this feature already implemented?
• What behaviour is to expect when .NET is missing?

Hi!

I think, my first version of portable jEdit 5.0 is good enough for a beta test. Where should I upload?

Sorry, but I still want to ask what FileWrite actually does? When should I use it? Thanks.

As you might have seen I'm trying to make jEdit portable.

While I was working on the [FileWriteN] sections I noticed some shortcomings.

I think the only rally valuable type is the "Replace" as all the others simply seem to spit out some, more or less, fixed lines.

What I wanted to do, for example, is to replace something in an XML file.

Hi!

I want to make jEdit 5.0 portable. As a starting point I tried this appinfi.ini, created with the PortableApps.com Deelopment Toolkit

I am a novice of portableapps，i have a question that puzzled me some days. when I make a software named BaiduReaderLite for portable，I found that portableappsLauncher not have a good support for chinese language，I said that in more detail below，look：

At the Launcher.ini below [RegistryValueWrite] I write this：

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\BaiduReaderLite.pdf\shell\用百度阅读器精简版打开\command\=REG_SZ:%PAL:AppDir%\BaiduReaderLite\BaiduReaderLite.exe "%1"

when run the portableapp,I found that it is not exist in the regedit, but a similar section

I want to have an easy to find and edit way of changing what the "default" virtual PA.c drive letter is.

Current launcher.ini:
[Environment]
PAL:SubstDrive=B

[FilesMove]


Is there a way to convert a MSI to portable app format?

Give a search box in portable apps menu (search should be like windows 7 start menu search) if we start typing it will show the filtered applications.

Hi there!

I'm new to the PortableApps forums but I have been using the website (and apps) for ages.

I don't know whether this has been posted before (or if this is even the right section ) but I wanted to share how you can very easily make an Eclipse portable app with the JDK.

Don't worry, I won't post a download link (that's technically illegal :D).

There are two ways:

1: Get a friend to get the JDK on his/her computer, copy over the files.
2: (The way we'll be doing) Get the compressed binaries direct from Oracle.

Here's how to do it:
