Portable App Development

Hi,
is it possible to ad map in the right collum of the portable apps suite.

Hi,

I saw you are looking for a Telnet/SSH-tool... Since I have hosting, I use WinSCP in combination with puTTY. This way, you can handle files with a GUI and you also have the possibility to use a CUI.

WinSCP is downloadable as installer, standalone and source code. So maybe this can help.

i think it would be cool to have a more portable version of bzflag

Two questions:

1. Can I distribute the Java Runtime with RSSOwl Portable? I know it can be distributed but I don't know about OS projects.
2. Is the Java Runtime portable?

Sorry if these questions seem stupid but I suck with licensing (as John knows ;)) and it's late at night.

I've made an app in Visual Basic for wrapping registry settings. It works basically the same as Registry Rapper, but has support for multiple registry paths. It launches regedit from command-line to do all registry editing.

You can download it here: http://pickeringfamily.customer.netspace.net.au/RegRap.zip

Please let me know what you think.

Cheers,
Will

I need help! how do you start to design the apps. Can anyone help?

MinGW Portable is a collection of freely available and freely distributable Windows specific header files and import libraries combined with GNU toolsets that allow one to produce native Windows programs that do not rely on any 3rd-party C runtime DLLs. Which has been specially made for your portable data storage device. This allows for you to compile Windows, Linux, or even Mac Applications anywhere and everywhere there is a computer.

MinGW Portable can be found on Nobis Development Group's Website: http://nobis.zapto.org/

Hi I am interested in how John created the StartPortableApps.exe, it would be really useful to have something like that can be customized as shortcuts can not be made relative. Was it it made using NSIS, I have started looking into this as it seems that quite powerful exes can be made that launch things in interesting ways, which would be useful for making things happen just the way I like. Any advice on NSIS and how StartPortableApps.exe works would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Andrew

Here's my first release of RSSOwl Portable and also my first Summer Portables release.
It is available for download at the RSSOwl Portable page.
The launcher is released under the GPL and RSSOwl is licensed under the EPL (Eclipse Public License).
Also, I am fully aware that a RSSOwl Portable is already available, but I wanted to make my own, which is compatible with the PAF.
Thanks,
Ryan.

I'm a pretty much noob to making portable apps, as well as coding/programming in general, but I seem to have grasped NSIS pretty well.

Besides that, I've been getting errors in Line 171 of the compiler using John's installer .nsi files as an example. In fact, I even tried the AbiWord installer file to see if it would work flawlessly. Well enough, the compiler hung with this error log:

IfFileExists: "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY\$PROGRAMEXECUTABLE" ? FoundProgramEXE :
MessageBox: 48: "$PROGRAMEXECUTABLE was not found. Please check your configuration"
Abort: ""
