Portable App Development

Hi,

I have found an error of PortableApps.com Launcher 2.0 and UTF-8 with BOM.
If AppNamePortable.ini is saved in UTF-8 with BOM, the generated launcher cannot start. If it is saved without BOM all is right.
Please add an comment on this site until the error is resolved: https://portableapps.com/manuals/PortableApps.comLauncher/intro/overview/

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!
