Portable App Development

Is it possible to exclude one of the apps from auto updating??

Generally I am happy to auto update all of the apps on startup but one of the apps I would prefer to keep at certain version and NOT update it... (higher versions are causing issues)

Must my app support Windows 7 and Windows 8?

If no, how can I document that those OSes are not supported?

I am trying to build a PortableApp.
The installer is an online installer.

The download file is an EXE file which has a folder within named $PLUGINSDIR which has a file named app-64.7z inside it.
What I want is to be able to extract the contents of app-64.7z into App\AppName folder.

Hence I created installer.ini as following:

Hey!

I did the Zotero App that was released on april 12th. I have a question, that I am a bit too afraid to ask...
Before official release, I did update my app on my Github repo. Now that Zotero is officially supported by portableapps, how do I update it?

Thanks a lot!

Hi all,
Creating my first portable app .. im stuck on the bit in the app documentation that says ...

"Start is the command line to execute to start the app relative to the AppNamePortable directory. This will typically be AppNamePortable.exe."

How do I make the .exe file?? and how does it point to the actual executable in the App\Appname\ directory?
I have a .bat file that works perfectly, I just cant figure out how to create the .exe file ...

Thanks

I'm not sure what the reason could be for this, but it's not necessary and it's also problematic.
TLDR: You can drop in the most recent x64 qbittorrent.exe to replace the x32 bit version and it should actually run better.

Hi,
I have a small utility I want to make portable.
It's pretty straightforward and I had the launcher working in no time.
Well.. except it doesn't work !
The reason I finaly found for it is that PAL writes the key to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\App when the registry key I want to write should go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\App ! The App reads HKLM\SOFTWARE\App that doesn't exist.
I've seen some posts about this issue but all of them very old.
Is there a workaround or am I out of luck ?

Hi,

I have a question. I have a program I have made portable. It requires registering a .dll that in turn requires admin rights. I have used a custom.nsh file to register and unregister the .dll. IOW I don't need help with that - it's working....

My question is, I don't understand how PortableApps uses it's own registery files without writing to the host pc's registry at all.

Hi
I searched in this forums did not find my Qusetion.
