Portable App Development

Hello,

I recently found PortalApps and I'd some idea about making one of my game portable, Vindictus.
But I've the following problem : the game won't run until a key is missing in the registry and this key is located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
Since I want to use the game on my school computers, I don't have privileges to add this key with a simple .reg file. So I'm asking you if there is a way to bypass the privileges? or simply change the folder of the key to HKEY_CURRENT_USER by modifying a file or maybe use the key in a .ini file?

Here is the key I've to add:

I'm confused. I've added a post to the Apps Ready For Official Release, Post Here thread expecting that the app would be added to the Portable App Directory but there was no follow-up. So I looked at some of the older posts and I don't see any of those apps in the directory either.

Is anyone monitoring that thread? How are we supposed to publish our portable apps?

Thanks,
Metalogic

I think someone suggested me to look about the most basic nsi script i.e in through sumatra pdf's script.. I looked throughly it.. It has "Rename" for file moving between data dir and program dir. Now how do i move t settings folder from(for example) data\appnamesettings\xxxx to %APPDATA%...

I saw this code somewhere
[Launch]
CommandLineArguments=-appdatapath"%PAL:DataDir%"

So does the program assume Pal:DataDir to be applicationdata of the computer..

I'm totally losing my mind.. Does moving a settings file/folder of any app from data dir to any location like %APPDATA% and back to data dir after closing the app make it portable or not??

Is there any possibility to change directory (application specific directory) before launching the application?

I'm writing a launcher for an application already installed on the system in use. As I often have to change the settings (a lot of registry values) I exported them as set to files and would like to import them and then start the application automatically. So my PortableApp is not a real portable one, it's just a tool helping me to manage the different configurations.

I've a Made a portable version of an app named "Orbit Downloader 4.0.0.3"..
I want this to go for development tests..
What do i next.. Pls point out..
Does it really take 6 months for an app to become an official portableapps.com version??

Someone requested gPodder and I was thinking about working on it but I have a question.

It is coded in python so there is a bunch of .py scripts. All the dependencies look like there included (including python). When ran it compiles the .py scripts. I was wondering when I package it should I include the compiled scripts package it as is?

Hi,
I'm newbie here. Could anybody please point out the error in my testing move:

I use JauntePE030AlphaNB19 trying to portalize a software. Everything works but in the end: (this software tranforms a document into .doc file and automatically calls Winword to open that .doc file.), when it comes to this "automatically calls Winword", error occurs and some msoffice install procesure occurs...

I find out that .doc is saved to folder like ".\jpe\user\apps...", not where I wanted it to be.

Is there anything I can do?

For a while i've been keeping a portable I2P package up to date mainly for my and friends. I think the structure is somewhat a mess and things aren't how they are supposed to be yet.

So, i'll post it here, hopefully get some feedback and make some additions and/or corrections to make it official portable app.
