Portable App Development

Hi,

I need gvimPortable, compiled with vim support.

Is this theoretically possible, if i just grab the source files, change the make file to reference where i have perl installed, and then compile with cygwin? So far i'm getting a build failure, but i'm thinking it has to do with my version of gcc on cygwin. Keeping at it.

Any tips appreciated,

thanks,
-Joe

I have already pointed out in another thread to this topic (see on the end of my comment with the subject "research incompletely"). As I suspect, however, that this problem was not noticed sufficiently, I've decided to create this new thread.

Suppose a base app creates in connection with a file association in the registry the following entry:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\.xyz

At first I assumed that I must make the following entry in the section [RegistryKeys]:

-=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\.xyz

Again I've checked the app Drago Portable, which I've made portable. Regarding some entries in the registry I received the following result with Regshot:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Cygwin
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Cygwin\Installations
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Cygwin\Program Options
HKU\S-1-5-21-1202660629-515967899-725345543-1005\Software\Cygwin
HKU\S-1-5-21-1202660629-515967899-725345543-1005\Software\Cygwin\Program Options

Accordingly I pasted the following code in the file DragoPortable.ini:

[Activate]
Registry=true

[RegistryKeys]

The latest JpegView update has a MinOS XP Service Pack 3. I know PAL cannot do this, so what is better:
-Set MinOS to Vista and kill the app under XP.
-Set MinOS to XP and hope there are only a few people out there without at least SP2.

I am leaning towards option 2 but wanted to ask for other opinions.

Suppose the portable app named "Appname" stores its settings in a registry key HKLM\Software\AppName. Furthermore I will run this app within an user account without admin rights. Let me now distinguish the following 2 cases:

1. Case 1: App requires admin rights

I think, that in this case the portable app will quit. The only possibility is, that I insert the following code in the file AppNamePortable.ini:

[Launch]
RunAsAdmin=force

Hi all,

I have a problem with a Flash game, in particular Super Smash Flash 2 v0.9..
I saw another Flash portable app around here.

Flash background:

dear friends,
why does not Portableapps.com provide the latest version of foxit reader anymore? i've noticed that the latest version of foxit now is 5.4.5.0114.

thx for your help & concern.

hi! im trying to make a launcher for OpenVPN so it can run portable. Im using portableapps.com launcher and was done with launcher.ini

Here's my launcher.ini


[Launch]
ProgramExecutable=OpenVPN\openvpn-gui.exe
DirectoryMoveOK=yes
SupportsUNC=yes
DirectoryMoveOK=yes

[RegistryValueWrite]
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenVPN\=REG_SZ:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenVPN\log_dir=REG_SZ:%PAL:DataDir%\log
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenVPN\exe_path=REG_SZ:%PAL:AppDir%\OpenVPN\openvpn.exe


The default value of the section [SinglePortableAppInstance] is false, i.e. it's possible to run multiple instances of the portable app simultaneously. For the following considerations we will call the portable app suitable "multiple_instances". Furthermore we assume, that this app stores its settings in the registry key HKCU\Software\Publisher\multiple_instances. Accordingly the following code is necessary for making this app portable:

[Activate]
Registry=true

[RegistryKeys]
multiple_instances=HKCU\Software\Publisher\multiple_instances

Hi,

Is there any app which can follow which files changed by an application which executed?

I found some apps to find which files has been changed before and after an app executed. But they can not show me which files has been changed by this app. They show me all the files has been changed by operation system, services and all apps which runnig. So I can not filter the files which changed just by application which I want to follow.

I would be happy if you can suggest me any software to do that...

Thank you
