Portable App Development

Hi,
I want to make a BATCH script to "portabilize" a program that doesn't need more than "users" rights (doesn't need "Admin" rights/privileges). That program reads registry keys and values in HK_LOCAL_MACHINE to define some options and variables.

I would like to force that program to read HK_CURRENT_USER (or any other registry key that doesn't need more than "users" rights) instead of HK_LOCAL_MACHINE because I don't want my BATCH script to need elevated privileges (and call an UAC prompt) to set up my program.

Hi,

is it possible to use this line 'AdvancedExtract1Filter=folder\appname.exe' but without including the src directory?

AdvancedExtract1To=App\AppName
AdvancedExtract1Filter=folder\appname.exe

... the rusulting structure should be: 'App\AppName\appname.exe'
but it always includes the src folder like this 'App\AppName\folder\appname.exe'

Greetings, QWiiK

Hi folks,

is there a built-in possibility for making apps portable that doesn't have a directly startable gui?
I'm thinking about shell-extension based applications like Tortoise SVN or MP3ext.

What I would expect is something like a traybar icon that turns the shell extension ON, if closed, it turns the shell extension OFF.

Good morning!

A app store in the registry this key

"KeyName"="C:\\Users\\Username\\AppData\\Roaming\\Appname\\Image.bmp"

How I can set the
keyname= %APPDATA%\\AppName\\Image.bmp?

Thanks

Sorry for the stupid question but i'm developing my first portableapps.

My app need to move a dir and a file:

[Environment]
FullAppDir=%PAL:AppDir%\TeraCopy

[FilesMove]
Settings\Options.ini= %FullAppDir%
[DirectoriesMove]
Settings\Teracopy=%APPDATA%\Teracopy

All is OK.

At the start of program file and dir are moved as expected.
At the end of program file and dir return to their place.

How can I take a public domain book and convert it into a portable app?
Or, better yet, can someone else do that?

I am a n00b that needs help making apps portable and putting them in the Portableapps Platform. So far, I have (somehow) managed to successfully use the Portableapps.com Launcher and have tried to make it to the Portableapps.com Installer. I made an installer, and was very happy with myself, so I successfully installed it to the Platform. In my moment of pride, I tried to run the application and it gave me the following message:

F:\PortableApps\OverturePortable\App\Appinfo\Launcher\OverturePortable.ini is missing [Launch]:ProgramExecutable - What am I to launch?
