Portable App Development

Hi!

Please make an video-tutorial with who to make portable an app...
Is no need to "prepare" your desktop, your speech, or something else, just please make a movie with your desktop's activity, when you make portable an app.

That will help all of people (or a big part of) who want to make an portable app.
And, please, don't say me "use the XXX software or YYY software" or "read HERE an THIS".

I readed this tutorial, but... something I don't understand... something more...

Hi there !
I'm currently looking to improve my Steam Portable launcher, but some dependencies are making me crazy. And that's why I'm posting here, I need some little help :
With my launcher, I'd like to put some multiple regkey handling, that is to say that the user will only put in a .ini file all the registry keys he wants to backup (these keys separated to each other by ||, like in the PortableApplicationTemplate famous on Internet). But what sort of code should I use in order to make my launcher able to manipulate all these keys without any problem, and with one single piece of code ?

Hey guys,

I'm looking for some XML help. I have set up a PA.c package of JabRef, but I haven't been able to get XML attribute file writing working. Here's the XML file, with the relevant lines highlighted, and here's the launcher.

Thanks for any insights!

Just a heads up that unfortunately I'll be shutting down the Nascent-Project.org hosting on September 1, 2011. I figured this is a fair bit a notice to allow any developers still hosting on my server to seek out alternate hosting options. SourceForge is a bit of work, but it does work. Luckily it seems that only Simeon, prapper, and Bart.S have been hosting there in recent months.

I am using nsis and lazarus to create a gui ejector and appkiller script depending upon the ini file that the lazarus form spits out. I am as far as the "kill all" and the "eject" option, but I have hit a snag in the road. I need to have a list of all the installed applications. How can this be done through nsis. I was thinking something along the lines of:

ReadINIStr $0 "..\..\..\*Portable\App\AppInfo\AppInfo.ini" "Details" "AppId"
StrCpy $0 $0 + ".exe"
WriteINIStr "$EXEDIR\Data\Eject.ini" "AppsToKill$R0" "1" "$0"
${StrReplaceV4} $1 "portable.exe" ".exe" $0

After I create a *.paf.exe for the first time ( as described in this thread ), I now want to check this *.paf.exe on my local pc or in a virtual machine. Due to the Creation of the *.paf.exe I assume, that now exist some registry entries and/or some stuff in the file system. For this check I now start Regshot for the second time. But before I start Regshot, I think it's necessary to delete all registry entries and the stuff in the file system, which arise through the creation of the *.paf.exe.

Hi PA team,

As we are going to enjoy PA 2.0, currently in Beta release... but I think in new version of PA there must be some way to install/update Multiple Versions of Applications at user preferences, As I am a developer, so I have to check my app in multiple version of Firefox for final delivery... I work in Firefox 2.x, 3.x and now 4.x side by side.

And I don't think this should have side any effects...

Thanks

Does anyone have a copy of the Ansi KillProc NSIS plugin they'd be willing to send my way? I need it so I can compile the Chrome/Iron launcher, but the usual download site is down for maintenance and I can't seem to find a mirror.

Thanks!

Hi, first, many compliments, portable apps are very cool

I'm trying to distribute a presentation written in html/js on a usb pen.

I'm doing this using firefox portable, and creating an autorun that launch firefox when the usb pen is connected.

On windows xp this autorun creates an entry in the autorun dialog with the text:

"Text written from me in autorun file"
Open with selected program

In windows vista I see:

"Text written from me in autorun file"

I'm wondering if:
